If you want to stay in a local Parisian neighborhood with easy access to all the sights then this apartment is perfect. Located two blocks from the 5 and 8 metro lines gives you both north-south and east-west metro access to the city. The walk through the Marais to the Seine is an absolute delight and the canal is only a short walk down Rue de Lancry past an excellent cremerie, boulangerie and boucherie for all your picnic supplies. The apartment is charming and has all of the amenities to make for an easy stay. Every night we returned tired and happy from our miles of walking and fell fast asleep in the very comfortable bed with the windows open to the breezes across the rooftops. Fred, our host, was helpful, friendly and very responsive which made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. If this is your first stay in a Paris rooftop apartment, be mindful that the charm comes with some quirks in these historic buildings. We would definitely stay here again.
