We stayed for a week in Ariane’s apartment and were very comfortable. It is close to great metro stops for getting around Paris, and there are loads of shops, restaurants and cafes around the area. The apartment itself is huge and very comfortable, as well as decorated very tastefully. It was perfect for our small family of three and we felt very at home. It is set back from the street and much quieter than we would have expected for a city apartment. There was some noise from the small crèche below on one or two afternoons but nothing of concern at all. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need, including a large fridge and oven. The main bed is a fold out sofa bed, which may not be for everyone. This apartment offers excellent value for money in the centre of Paris. Ariane was a very accomodating host, who showed kindness and consideration to our needs. Thankyou, Ariane.
