The location of this apartment is hard to beat! We appreciated its proximity to the Gare de Lyon, which allowed us to hop on trains to visit friends all over the city, as well as enjoy the pleasant, interesting and easy walk to the Seine, the rive gauche, and many other places. Another benefit of this apartment is that it does not have that impersonal hotel feel that some AirBnBs have these days--it is very uniquely decorated, sort of "goth-shabby-chic" is what we decided (our children found some of the artful objects slightly spooky). The apartment was comfortably warm in winter and had everything that our family of 5 needed. The host is very friendly and responsive, eager to provide local tips and make your stay nice. Recommended!
