We had a great stay in Simone's apartment. This is an *enormous* apartment for Paris, which allowed my daughter and I to sleep in separate rooms, and to really relax between long outings in the city. It is located in a beautiful building, which reveals itself with quite a surprise when you enter the external gate from the street. Inside the gate is an interior courtyard, and the apartment faces that interior on the 5th floor (6th by US definitions). It gets a good amount of natural light and is quite quiet consequently. The apartment has nice style, high ceilings, and the charm of a *real* Parisian's place rather than an airbnb pseudo-hotel. The location is a bit far from central Paris, but there are quite convenient metros very nearby, and just behind the building is a beautiful canal. The "bobo" neighborhood of Canal St Martin is a few blocks away and quite nice to explore, a good area for jogging etc. Absolutely this is a great value and experience and I highly recommend it.
