We especially loved the large private outdoor spaces. We spent a lot of time out there with morning coffee, alfresco dining and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Because of food allergies I cook all our meals and enjoyed doing so in the well stocked kitchen. The location was good, we had not been in the 13th arr. before and enjoyed exploring a new neighborhood. It’s not at all touristy, you can live like a local. There are abundant choices for bakeries and groceries. The Glacière metro station has only one line so is very user friendly and only a short walk away.
