I stayed in these wonderful apartments during the 3rd week of June with my mother and my 12 year old niece. I have been to Paris many times but have always stayed in a hotel. This was our first apartment stay in Paris and I cannot say enough good things about these apartments and their hosts.
For the first 3 nights we stayed in the first floor apartment and then were able to add another night in the 5th floor apartment. There are only stairs but Anatole very kindly helped us bring our baggage up to the 5th floor apartment for our last night. I was concerned about space with a tween along on this trip and needing some space of her own but the apartments are spacious, well organized and comfortably fit 3 people - and considering the central location I was surprised by how quiet they were. The apartments were both clean and nicely decorated with lovely exposed stone walls.
These apartments are in an amazing location with 3 metro stations nearby which puts you within easy reach of all that Paris has to offer. Châtelet-Les Halles, Pont Neuf and Louvre-Rivoli metro stations are all within 5-7 minute walk. But even without the metro, many sites are within walking distance such as Le Marais, Le Musée du Louvre and Le Jardin des Tuileries. We enjoyed wondering down to Pont Neuf each evening to look out over la Seine, watching the Eiffel Tower light show. The apartment is surrounded by many supermarkets, bakeries and restaurants, you really want for nothing in this neighbourhood.
Anatole was so kind and helpful and it was nice to not to have to worry about baggage drop-off with an apartment as he offers early baggage drop-off and storage. He was very responsive and accommodating.
We really couldn’t have asked for better apartments, location and host. I would happily stay in any one of the 6 apartments in this building and hope to return again soon.
