This apartment is lovely! It has beautiful views of typical Parisian rooftops. It feels a bit like an Upper West Side professor’s apartment. Creaky wood floors, comfortable armchairs, beautiful carpets, full bookshelves and many good paintings. The ambiance is wonderful. The only thing I’d note is that the elevator is very small (not for claustrophobes!) and it took multiple rides to get our suitcases up/down. Elisabeth was easy to communicate with and always helpful. The Rue des Martyrs is a street filled with excellent small shops and restaurants. There is also a supermarket around the corner, so all needs are easily satisfied. The street is fairly quiet at night but any noise does carry. The location is excellent and I would stay here again.
