The apartment is very quiet, comfortable, clean, full of character and much more interesting than an anonymous hotel room. We felt almost like real Parisians! Anna was generous and thoughtful, even coming to the Metro station to meet us. She left us many snacks, coffee capsules, fresh fruit and even a bottle of wine in the kitchen. She also provided more than everything we needed in the bathroom. The surrounding area is peaceful yet has plenty of little shops, bakeries, supermarkets and cafes nearby and the Metro is just around the corner (the trains are very frequent and it’s easy to get to the city centre). You can stroll to and along the Seine - interesting in itself - and be near the Eiffel Tower within an hour, stopping frequently to watch the world go by. As we like gardens, we really enjoyed the Jardin des Serres very nearby (huge glasshouses full of plants from around the world - we only managed to see half of it though we were there for about two hours) and the Jardin de Ranelagh which we walked to along streets full of amazing old buildings. I could go on but suffice it to say that we couldn’t recommend Anna and her apartment highly enough!
