Martin is a welcoming host with excellent suggestions for a rich experience in this artistic and culturally rich epicenter. The neighborhood is thriving with excellent food, music, and plenty to explore by foot. I got all around the city by metro just fine. The apartment on the ground floor has lots of light and awesome high ceilings with windows in the front. The area in back with the bed is set up to be nice and cozy. The shower with warm tile floors is a luxury after long days of walking. This is a very comfortable base and reminds me of an art loft with one sink for multi purpose and unique one of a kind utilities. There are plenty of specialized appliances to cook up something with ease and to prepare an excellent cup of coffee. The extra amenities like quality tea and coffee are a nice touch. Super classy place for an unforgettable experience in Paris. The walks to excellent book shops, parks, outdoor cafes and the cemetery make this neighborhood an excellent choice! I am planning my return trip :)
