This is our second time staying here. Because August is typically when Parisiens leave to the country for their holiday, both times we arrived and Fred was gone with his family but, he communicates well and you don't feel alone trying to figure things out.
This apt. is perfect for just the two of us- my husband and me. We love being able to look out over the rooftops and be in our quiet little space. It's warm inside but, we just leave all the windows open. On Fri. and Sat. nights it can get noisy out on the streets but, we just close the windows then. We noticed that Fred has added a fan which also really helped with how warm it can get. Of course, we were here in Aug. so, it won't be an issue during cooler seasons. We love the full kitchen and there are plenty of stores within walking distance to supply the fridge. Our favorite is the Monoprix which is about a 10 minute walk away because it has such a great selection of everything to make a great meal with. Just add a bottle of wine and you're all set for dinner! There are also plenty of bakeries within walking distance to get your fresh croissants and baguettes. The bathroom is a small space connected to the bedroom which really has no separation so, I wouldn't recommend this place for more than two people who are close. Since, it was just my husband and me it was no issue. The bathtub is quite small but, we aren't big people so it wasn't a problem for us. The washer is a real plus and much appreciated! Also, the fact that this apt. is on the top floor and the bldg. has a lift is a major asset to me as I have hip issues and because of this, this was a big selling point for me. Fred also has a television and dvd player there but, we have never used them as we just want to take in Paris, enjoy our delicious meal and wine and one another!
There are plenty of delicious restaurants close by, grocery stores and the metro is right outside from the apt., as well as a Velib bike station right outside if you want to take advantage of that.
I highly recommend this place for a couple who wants a romantic getaway in Paris! Merci Fred for such a special little place!
