This is a gem of an apartment tucked away in a cute neighborhood on a quiet cobblestoned alley, but completely within walking or metro distance from everything you might like to see. The most surprising aspect of the apartment is how quiet and cozy it is, even though you are right in the middle of Paris...amazing! At night you cannot hear anything at all...really! The apartment is absolutely spotless and tastefully decorated. There are all cooking amenities and a small fridge...also a cute sitting area for watching French TV when you need some rest after a long day of walking around. The apartment also has excellent heating, which was important due to the cold weather outside. There are abundant shops nearby for groceries, including an array of boulangeries and specialty markets. Various metro lines are between a 5 and 10-minute walk from the apartment: very convenient, but nice to be slightly off the beaten path in terms of tourists and noise. There are many cute restaurants of all kinds nearby, from French to pizza to Korean and Japanese. We would definitely come back and stay here! Note: It's true what others and Evelyne say about the sleeping space: it is "trés charmante" and requires some ducking and crawling :-) But you can see the Eiffel Tower from the roof window, and we just cracked ourselves up every night getting into bed. Once you're there, it's no problem. Also, for those who may not be extremely mobile, it is a 3rd story walk-up and the bedroom is also at the end of a spiral staircase. Again, we liked these aspects, but some people may not. Finally, Evelyne was very kind on the night that we arrived and throughout our visit. She was there to greet us and show us how everything worked, as well as offer suggestions about where to eat and shop for the best cheeses and pastry. All-in-all, a fantastic experience. Thank you, Evelyne, for offering your home!
