LOVED. We watched the Eiffel Tower light up while laying in bed. The apartment is small and quintessential Parisian. There are all of the amenities necessary. Windows open to let fresh air in and look out at the beautiful buildings and fresh plants!
The area is hip and up-and-coming. It’s a bit in transition, so not too touristy. Tons of restaurants. You have to walk toward the Canal St. Martin to get to the good ones Asa well as the fun shops. It’s about a 15 minute walk.
As far as sights, the train is right across the street and pretty easy to navigate. There is also an SNCF station attached for day trips out of Paris.
Sonia was kind and prompt. She let us stay a bit late on check-out day which made our move a lot easier.
The only downside is that this flat is a 6-floor walk-up. The stairs are narrow and a large suitcase is quite a feat to get up. Luckily we are in good shape and were able to do it. If you are not super-mobile, this is not the place for you. You will be winded by the time you get to the top, and that’s without any bags. That view made it worth it, though.
We loved our stay. The bookshelves were full, there were paintings on the wall, and it was just beautiful. We felt like we lived there.
