Loved our stay in this unit for so many reasons. My husband and I are in our mid to late 50s, very active, and it was his first Paris visit. TL;DR -- thumbs up for this great apartment that is central to everything, more convenient than a hotel, and made us feel like locals.
The apartment's location means very short walks to Le Marais, Ile De La Cite, the Louve, Centre Pompidou, and so much more, plus just a few minutes to the M4 metro stop which will get you pretty much anywhere in Paris. The neighborhood felt safe as well. The apartment itself is spacious, very comfortable and well stocked with all the amenities you need. I especially appreciated access to a hairdryer, clothes washer AND dryer, plus an clothes iron/steamer as I had a few days of work meetings requiring well pressed clothes. The apartment is right above a square filled with a number of restaurants all with outdoor seating that gets pretty busy even past midnight, so expect the accompanying sounds. But we found the vibe wonderful, the sounds from the square were a fun, buzzy background to our Paris adventure, and it was perfect to have dining options right outside our door (one place served us dinner at 11:30pm when our evening got a bit crazy; we were so thankful for that one!!). And if you want absolute quiet, the windows of the apartment were amazingly soundproof so just shut them and voila, no noise. There is AC that works fine to keep temps from getting too hot but just opening windows was fine too. Also, automatic panels open in the windowed ceiling of the bedroom for great airflow all night, and wonderful early light in the morning.
Philippe was a wonderful host - checking in with us beforehand and even offering to take a late night call if needed as our flight cancellations required a very late night arrival. But his directions to find and gain entry to the apartment were super clear and we had no issues finding it even well past midnight. Philippe was accessible but not intrusive - perfect. We definitely recommend this place, and for those who come, I'd also recommend the Cafe Etienne for morning croissants and coffee, just 2 minutes from the apartment and right next to the metro. Thanks Philippe for a great stay!
