Susie's apartment is in an ideal location with access to two metros within a couple of blocks. There is a really good bakery at the end of the block as you exit the apartment and two good restaurants when you cross the main boulevard at the bakery. I had morning coffee at the restaurant directly across from the apartment and at the cafe Cuba to the right and down the block. It was a treat to have a big street market at the square to the left of the apartment, on Thursdays and Sundays. Bought groceries at the Franprix which is to the right then right again at end of block. Also, walked two blocks to Place de Vosges which is a lovely historic park to sit and people watch. A larger grocery story Monoprix is accessed by crossing the park and walking through the Hotel Sully gardens (access to gardens is via a small red door in a corner of the building arches) It was lovely to walk to the canal behind the Place Republic and watch elderly men playing Boules. There are several pharmacies in the area. The apartment has everything needed to cook in. Just was not aware that a pan must be on the stove for it to heat up which was a first for us but obviously not a problem. The elevator is small which is typical for Paris. The living area has large windows which allows a lot of light and can be opened. The washer and dryer are in with the tub/shower. The toilet is down the hall from the rest of the bath area. There is a large closet in the hall to hang clothes and 3 small drawers in a bedroom all of which we found adequate. We did have to purchase paper towels on arrival and later toilet paper as we were there for two weeks. Susie was quick to respond to any questions we had and sent someone to help with the miner issues we had. Would definitely stay here again should the apartment be available when we are back in Paris.
