This apartment was wonderful - very spacious and very comfortable at the end of a long day of sight seeing! Stephanie was a wonderful host and very accessible if we needed her. The neighborhood was perfect with everything being within walking distance that we needed. A grocery store for essentials and all of the smaller markets for meats, cheeses, bakery, fruits and vegetables within one block. The Metro is a short walking distance and once you figure it out, it is very easy to get anywhere you need to go. Stephanie was very helpful pointing us in the right direction and giving us some local favorite spots to try. The building the apartment is in has some interesting history (google it) and has a ton of character - its filled with artisan creativity and personal history. We loved the layout of the space which allowed my daughter and I to have our own private space at the end of the day to unwind. The soaking tub was perfect after a long cold day of walking and seeing Paris. We felt like we were "coming home" each night and were sad to leave.
