Members of our extended family (6 persons) and I traveled to Paris during the first week of July 2013. Antoinette is a very good hostess. This property is a unique, even quirky 4-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom townhouse. Including the sunken TV room, the unit is split on five distinct levels: the TV room (a nice, comfortable area); the main living floor, with laundry facilities and half bathroom; a computer area in a mezzanine; the main bedroom area with two bathrooms; and the 4th bedroom in the attic. The unit is best suited for a large family or two families with children who are old enough to be self-sufficient. It was less well-suited to our group, which was built around three distinct couples. The living space was very spacious and suited our needs well. The kitchen is small and curiously located immediately inside the front door, but it was sufficient to our needs. The laundry facilities were helpful, particularly when the airline lost our luggage for the duration of our three day stay. The beds are all comfortable, but they are laid out in an unusual fashion. One bedroom has a full-sized bed for a couple. The second bedroom has bunked beds with a separate twin-sized bed, best suited for three individuals. Another bedroom has a full-sized bed, a twin-sized bed on the same level, and then another twin-sized bed accessible via a built-in ladder. This room would be best for a family of four. Finally, the 4th bedroom is accessed via a spiral staircase to a solitary twin-sized bed in the attic. Just using proper beds, the home can comfortably sleep ten people. With Antoinette's concurrence, I believe the ample couches could accommodate four more in reasonable comfort. The home is decorated with many interesting artworks and architectural features. While attractive, the spiral staircases to the bedrooms are difficult to negotiate large suitcases up and down. The unit is not located near major attractions, but its location is nonetheless practical. It is literally only 300 meters from the front door to the La Fourche Metro stop. We could walk past Moulin Rouge in about 10 minutes; to Sacre Couer in about 20. Using the Metro, you can get in the vicinity of major sites (Champs Elysee, Invalides) in ~15-20 minutes, door-to-door. Using a transfer to another Metro line, you can reach just about anywhere that a tourist might want in less than 30 minutes. Although the unit is relatively pricey, it can provide good value for a large group. Be wary of the cleaning fee. A flat rate of 150 Euros, this is a substantial amount if only staying for the minimum three-day stay. Although the unit is far from new, it was very clean and reasonably well maintained. During our stay, the alley in front of the home was experiencing construction. While unsightly and a bit noisy, Antoinette was very up-front with her communications. We were not surprised. Although obscure, I think the alley could have been charming in other...
