Our desire was to try staying in an apartment while visiting Paris rather than a hotel. We loved this studio! It was a beautiful introduction to a new level of Parisian life. It was clean, well-furnished, had great light, and excellent proximity to La marche des Enfants Rouge, Franprix, patisseries, boulangeries, boucheries,, etc. of a sort I did not see closer to the center of the Marais. The kitchen is small, but very well thought out. The courtyard is lovely. Even the little boy who lives upstairs is great fun. All boy and all French. The distance to Rue Rosiers is very close by Metro and not a bad walk. The Pompidou is a very short walk and the Defender of Time was easy to find.from there. The Musee des Arts et Metiers was a new one for us, but well worth adding to the list. The Connestant Restaurant at the corner down the street was great. For crepes one needs to go a bit further afield, but we did so it was great. Of the local Brasseries, Manfred stood out this time round. Our focus this time included the 20th which is home to a small but active ukulele group for me, Pere Lachaise for Jeri, and a host of very good and inexpensive Algerian, African, Turkish, and Middle-Eastern restaurants (Menilmontant & Belleville are the stops), In spite of this we managed to have many delightful breakfasts and several great dinners. As a base for an above average visit to Paris this was a delight to find and worth coming back to many times. It was also fun walking by the Port de la Moustache Autorisee. Great name. Fascinating club. We only needed Celine a couple of times, but each time she was there for our call with grace and pleasant support that made things get even better.
