The best area in Paris ! I have previously stayed in the 6th near the Luxemburg gardens and in the Marais district but I would only stay here for any future visits to Paris. 15 min walk to central paris and major sights. 5 minutes to RER direct to airport and also metro station. So many cafes and restaurants and supermarkets. The sofa bed was very comfortable. The apartment was quiet and had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The washing machine (with washing powder supplied) was very handy and clothes dried well on the drying rack in the bathroom for the next day. Antoine is a really nice guy who is easily reached and will go out of his way to make sure you have a comfortable stay. Loved our stay especially the area. This is real Paris.
