We very much enjoyed our Christmas vacation in Paris. The apartment is centrally located, an easy walk to almost everything. The neighborhood was lots of fun — our teenage daughter enjoyed going into all the cool clothing thrift shops! There were many delicious boulangeries and other good food nearby as well. Within a block from the apartment is also a grocery store and a lovely French cheese store. We would definitely stay again!
Even though we heard a lot in the news about protests and the transport strikes in Paris, we did not encounter any problems at all. The location was very safe at all times. The only issue with the strikes was the fact that the metro was not always open, but Ubers and Taxis were always available. We really enjoyed our stay and encourage people to visit even if there is a strike.
