I just returned from a fabulous Paris stay with my mother and 3 sisters. Sandrine's apartment was exactly what we expected, and artist's apartment in a historic building. The main floor is very large with comfortable living room and dining space. All but one bedroom are lofts, so beware of stairs and low ceilings.
This apartment is so charming! Sandrine is an artist and has much of her work on the walls as well as treasures - art, books, furniture - collected through the years. This is not a hotel, but a home where you can rest and enjoy with close friends or family. Although old and historic, we found the arpartment, linens, kitchen and bathroom all clean with modern appliances working properly. We had plenty of dishes, utencils and glasses (all of French style).
Located in the heart of the Marias, shopping, eating and getting around was simple. We walked most places and took the metro, a few blocks away. Sandrine gave us plenty of suggestions for restaurants and bars and local markets. She answered every one of my texts and emails promptly and was very helpful.
The 5 of us highly recommend staying in this apartment if you want a true Parisian experience. We feel like we lived in Paris for a week rather than visited. Thank you Sandrine!!
