This is an amazing apartment in the heart of the 9eme. It's spacious by Parisian standards. It's incredibly quiet. It's situated on the 3rd floor back off the street such that it doesn't look down on the street. It has windows on both sides into two separate courtyards. This gives it excellent light with surpreme tranquility in the heart of the city. There's an outdoor terrace with a table off the kitchen which is lovely. There's no elevator, you'll have to walk up 3 flights of steps which is easy really. The guardian is very nice and helpful. We stayed in March, the weather was cool, the heating worked well and we were never cold. The apartment has everything one could need. The owners clearly use the apartment regularrly since it has many of their books and some food items. We were delighted to be able to stay here and would not hesitate to return! If we had a pied de terre in Paris, this is exactly what we would have!
