Not just a picturesque apartment to stay in, but one with a wonderful host as well. Their willingness to work with out complex schedule of kid naps and luggage drop off was above and beyond. The beds were very comfortable, the apartment is spacious for its location and the Metro (when not on strike) is nearby providing easy access to other parts of town. Other than one restaurant (La Maison Bleue) there aren't tons of options nearby, though there is great specialty coffee (Roche Coffee Shop) and a Mikkeller tap room around the corner, for those who want craft beer in an ocean of good wine. I would stay here again in a second and the entire family agrees.
