Beautiful, cozy and atmospheric apartment. Good size for a 4 person family. We were traveling with our two daughters (7 and 10 years old) and they enjoyed their own little room that had lots of toys. They also loved the bathtub! Us parents had our own bedroom on the other side of the apartment.
Kitchen is small but it was good for preparing breakfast and snacks which we ate in the cozy living room. Most meals were eaten outside anyway.
The street outside is quite noisy (ambulances, cars etc) and the sounds carried into the bedroom. We got used to it quickly, no problem for us! But this is a good thing for you to know.
Good location near Gare de l’Est where you can find metro lines that will take you to museums and parks around Paris!
Benoit left the key for us in a safe place because he was out of town when we arrived. We were able to find most things by ourselves and Benoit also gave us some good tips on nearby places to get food and wine.
