We had a great stay here. Simon was very responsive both before and during our stay and offered a brief historical perspective on the building too. Simon’s place is beautifully light, airy and very spacious. The well restored period elements-shutters, mantlepiece, wood floors, high ceilings are complemented by very modern kitchen and bath facilities as listed and shown in the photos. My husband and I stayed in early June. The apartment was very quiet, and the location could not be better. We walked to many sites: Place des Vosges, Musee Picasso, Notre Dame, Palais Royal, and others. Practical shopping- groceries, bakery, wine, cheese, pharmacy etc. - is readily available a block away on Blvd St Antoine. Easy Metro access, too. We would definitely suggest Simon’s place to friends visiting Paris.
