This apartment was really fun to get to. The meandering walk through the building and up to the apartment felt really cool and special. My friend, sister, and I all fit very comfortably and although it's small (like all central Paris Apartments) we did not feel cramped. The views were amazing and we had a great view of the Eiffel Tower, the Opera House, and the Vendome Column. It was a very easy walk to get to the Louvre, Tuileries, l'Orangerie, and Orsay. Because we were so close to the Louvre we managed to go several times and it really cut down on the stress to know we were close enough to just pop in for a few hours and go home for lunch and come back if we wanted to.
It was also a 5-10 min walk to a multitude of metros and RER trains which made it easy for us to get to slightly farther places like Versailles. There's also a bus from the airport that drops off 5 min from the apartment which made getting there very easy.
We had no problem finding great places to eat out. There are a ton of great restaurants nearby and a few bakeries for us to try for breakfast! There are also a few grocery stores very close so we could get some food and cook it in the well-stocked kitchen.
At one point we had an issue with the internet and Matthieu came to help us right away! He also let my friend store his luggage in the place before check in which was very convenient. All in all he was a very attentive and kind host. During the off-season this is his family home so it felt very cozy and lived in which we really enjoyed.
We stayed for 11 days and this place made us feel right at home! It was so lovely to have dinner and watch the sun set over the Paris cityscape.
I would recommend this apartment for anyone who wants a taste of what it's like to live like a local in Paris!
