If you want a dream location out of a story book - this is it! From the moment I landed Valerie greeted me with superb information. The smells from the bakery can wake you as well as some noise from daily seafood and fruit/market vendors. It can be quite lively on weekend nights. There are two taverns right below. As noted, the building is quite old. Respect must be given to the stairway and plumbing features. They function fine but require gentle handling. This apartment is the perfect immersion for a Parisian community experience. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Enjoy your stay!!
