The apartment is a great space and it is in a very special neighborhood with an incredible number of small shops and restaurants combined with a high level of ethnic diversity. This allows you to experience a Paris that is more interesting than what you see in the tourist brochures. Of course, it only half a block from a metro-station the serves three different lines making it easy to get to all the major tourist destinations if that is what you want.
We were in rural France before ending out trip in Paris and wanted to drop our baggage off, drive to the airport to return the rental car, and then take the Metro back. Chloé & Arnaud made this easy to do and waited patiently while we were stuck on the A4 trying to get to the apartment. Great hosts!
