The apartment is beautiful: the pictures do not do it justice. It is quiet, spacious by Paris standards, comfortably furnished and brightly lit by big windows that look onto a courtyard. The kitchen is fully equipped for a serious cook. The bathroom has quite spectacular modern fittings.
The location is perfect. There are innumerable, excellent restaurants in the neighborhood. There are markets nearby (the Bastille and Aligre) and all shops you need. The lively and fashionable 10th and 11th arrondissements are within walking distance. So are many major tourist attractions. And if you don’t feel like walking, Bastille, which is around the corner, is a major transit hub.
Jonathan, our host, responded immediately to our messages. He and his partner could not have been more thoughtful, generous or charming.
We had a wonderful time in Paris and the apartment contributed a great deal to our enjoyment.
