We really enjoyed this apartment, it was close enough that we could walk with kids to many attractions (Louvre, Pantheon, Notre-Dame) and others were easily accessible by metro/RER. The living area is spacious and bright and the kitchen is well equipped. The lounge faces the street and I was worried about noise, you can hear the traffic when balcony doors are open but it is a quiet area (no noise from restaurants or neighbours) and the double glazing blocks the noise well. The bedrooms face into an interior courtyard and are very quiet. The apartment is nicely decorated with beautiful original artwork on the walls, it feels very personal and you can imagine it is your own Parisian home.
Anne was a great host, communication was prompt and clear and she left us some wine and snacks which was a nice touch. We have stayed before in the Latin quarter in a hotel, but having an apartment was so much easier especially traveling with children. My kids (8 years and 10 years) loved the bunk beds! The wifi speed was also good.
There is a small hotel directly next door, which was helpful at leaving time when we realised none of the taxi apps would work with our roaming number (non French/EU SIMs) and they happily called a taxi for us instead.
There are many bakeries, cafes and restaurants nearby, and so many cute stores selling boutique baby items and lovely (expensive) children’s toys. There are also lots of very small carrefour express stores for basic grocery items within a few minutes. Luxembourg gardens nearby is a nice place to sit, and a little further is Jardin des Plantes (botanical gardens) with attached museums and zoo, which was a day’s outing in itself.
All in all I would not hesitate to recommend and would happily stay here again. Anne made the experience so easy.
