Just yesterday we completed a delightful 4-day stay at Mariame's apartment in the lovely Parc Monceau neighbourhood of Paris. Staying there helped to make for a wonderful first visit to Paris and I recommend the studio to others.
As stated above, the studio is located in the moderately elegant and safe Parc Monceau area and abounds with shops (small grocers, bakeries, cafés, small restaurants, etc.) and respectable-looking people, so one will lack for nothing within the vicinity. Parc Monceau, the park itself, that is, is perhaps a two minute walk away and is a veritable oasis of green and tranquility amid the din of Paris. The metro is right there also.
As for the apartment, well, what can I say? Renovated, nice parquet floor, well-appointed, comfortable bed, clean linens, wifi, TV with oodles of stations (all in French, but we are in France after all), soap, shampoo, etc., plates, mugs, cutlery, and, above all, whip clean. It is a short walk up the stairs and there is a small lift (elevator for my fellow North Americans). The crown mouldings and soaring ceilings evoke elegant old Paris and make for a pleasant stay, particularly over a café au lait in the morning. Speaking of which, there is a Nespresso machine so bring some pods with you if that's your thing.
The proprietor is offsite but is ably represented by her local helper, however she does not provide much in the way of a briefing upon arrival, which resulted in having to track down the proprietor for the wifi code. I'm a chap who likes to be well-briefed, and a short manual with key info left in the studio for guests would solve these minor problems. I'm also a chap who likes to wear well-pressed clothes before stepping out and an iron and board in the studio would help get the wrinkles out of my trousers after a transatlantic flight, and save a few sous on pressing.
All in all though, a lovely apartment in a nice neighbourhood, with most details taken care of. I recommend it to fellow travellers.
