Annette's place is a gem. Set in a beautiful and vibrant neighbourhood that is authentically Parisian, the apartment is well equipped with everything you need. It is the personal touches that make it extra special. From the bottle of Bordeaux and the little cakes, to the library of novels and Paris tour books. Everything is thoughtful and well appointed. The kitchen was lovely with all of the amenities. We were able to prepare breakfast and picnic lunches from the wide variety of meats, cheeses and breads from the nearby shops. The loft bed is cozy and comfortable and everything in the apartment is sparkling clean. Metro stops are minutes away and from the apartment's central location you can easily get to any of the major attractions, or just walk the neighbourhood and discover the Picasso museum, Centre Pompidou, the Bastille and place des Voges. Prepare to climb stairs as the apartment is on the fourth floor. A great way to burn off the calories from the amazing croissants, pain du chocolate, and baguettes with cheese you will enjoy while in Paris. Great hosts with a very special apartment.
