Absolutley a perfect place for vacationing in Paris. It is close to everything but away from all of the tourist junk. There are fantastic restaurants 30 meters away. If you are American, that means you walk out the door and turn the corner...that's it! There are several boulangeries to choose from, a small market next door and a larger one a short walk away. The apartment itself is cozy with all of the essentials. Large windows overlook a courtyard, allowing for fresh air a d natural light but still privacy. The residents there are quiet. Claire was a fantastic hostess. She went out of her way to accommodate us when we arrived with two travel-weary children. I highly recommend this apartment.
