Christine's flat was both perfect in location and type of home we look for when abroad.
First, the location is a very short walk to several stations on the Metro "M" line that stops at the Louvre, Jardin des Tuileries, and Champs Elysees and it is a short walk to the Pink line that heads to Gare du Nord. Le Marais neighborhood is picturesque and in walking distance to Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle and the Louvre.
Second, the courtyard this sits within is quiet and very private. The flat is quite enough space for two people. The bed was comfortable, there is plentiful hot water and the shower is lovely, there is a washer/dryer combo that can minimize your packing, and the kitchen is well appointed with all you need to make an espresso /americano in the morning, as well as cook breakfast.
There is an award-winning boulangerie two blocks to the south or a bagel place (bagels in Paris?) two blocks to the west. Plenty of brasseries and a grocery store also a few blocks away on Rue de Rivoli. Check in was easy and directly with Christine and the instruction book she left gave all the information we needed. We hope to be back soon and stay there again. Merci beaucoup, Christine!
