this place could not have been more perfectly located.
it was absolutely stunning, and just right for two young travellers who want to explore. coming to a place with a language barrier, it was so calming to have daniela as a host. the care was kind, thoughtful, and the most comfortable space was provided for our stay.
i was a bit worried about the heat in july without an air conditioner, but keeping the windows open and running the fan provided was perfect! if need be there is a beautiful shower that you can hop in and have a nice cool rinse. everything was clean and cozy, and the apartment has a wonderful paris charm. yes, there are a lot of stairs, but i promise you that the journey up leads to a beautiful view of the street below! totally worth it.
the street below is constantly bustling, filled with lots of people and excitement throughout the day. however, it calms down at night, allowing for a peaceful rest and recharge for your next day of exploring the beautiful city.
being able to walk to everything is a HUGE plus. even if you are not too keen on it, i recommend giving it a try because being able to walk down the streets surrounding is more beautiful than you could ever imagine. we even ended up walking to the eiffel tower- which is a bit more of a walk but totally worth it. the louvre was an incredibly easy walk with a lot of historic views on the way, beautiful to soak in the full paris experience. the streets are lined with places to grab a bite, groceries, or shop for small items. it looks as though it came out of a storybook.
i absolutely recommend staying here, you will have the time of your life :)
