We stayed in Pénélope's for 2 nights with our two kids (9 and 7). There is an open spiral stairscase so you have to explain the kids to go slowly. The place was perfect for our family, very well equiped and convenient for the kids. It's all very tidy, personal, safe and charming, and gave us a real feel of living in Paris. The leafy courtyard below gives fresh air and a sense of open space. It’s located in a quiet area just near Bastille and just 2 blocks from a very well connected metro station (Ledru Rollin). Also you can find many restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets. restaurants and very close to Marais and other great places. The apartment is 10 minutes walking from Gare de Lyon.

The free WiFi was great, and enabled us to better plan our days and be connected. There's a Boulangerie just on the other side of the street, & a big Monoprix a block away (next to the Metro station).

Pénélope was helpful from the time of Booking and check-in arrangements was easy - she was very prompt in responding to emails, answered all of our questions within 24 hours. Thank you Pénélope for this lovely spot in Paris.
