What a treat to stay at this studio apartment and be a part of the neighborhood for a week! I loved it! Bernard was very quick to respond to any of my requests/questions and that was very helpful. Check in was super easy - the building manager was awaiting my arrival and showed me around. I arrived earlier than the stated check-in and this was easily accommodated which I appreciated. This apartment is located in a great area, so close to many restaurants, bars, the George Pompidou Centre, Hotel de Ville and is also a very short walk to the supermarket on the corner. It was perfect! It is walking distance to most everything but is also a quick walk to the Metro if going further afield. I went to visit my daughter who is living there and the apartment was a 15 minute walk to her place. The apartment had everything we needed to have a few meals in (mostly breakfast) and a comfy bed after walking, walking and more walking. There was certainly enough room for me since you are seldom really there to just sit! The apartment overlooks a busy square with a bar across the way and several restaurants just down the square and when the windows are open when it is hot, it is rather noisy (and they do stay open very late!) but I always travel with ear plugs so just stuck those in and slept well anyway! I embraced it as just part of the Paris vibe. I enjoyed my Paris trip very much and would be happy to return again to Bernard's apartment another time. Thanks, Bernard!
