We were looking for a couple of days in Paris near a park so I could keep my two active kids worn out - and we were lucky enough to find Simons lovely apartment. When we walked in, we couldn't believe our luck, it was clean, had a lovely warm feel with beautiful old high ceilings and architraves. We felt at home straight away.
The apartment is street level, but if the beautiful big window is closed it's very quiet. The bedroom window overlooking the little common area let in lovely chilled fresh air. You can feel the trains pass underneath in the subway, but's it's not a disturbance - if anything it makes it all feel authentic.

As per Simons advice we parked on the streets with ease and sought out the super maches suggested in Simons helpful little map. We stayed in and cooked every night - the kitchen is absolutely functional, with everything you would need on hand, even a little Nespresso, plus a thoughtful and appreciated little care package left in the fridge. Having wifi again after 6 days without it was also a treat!
The location of the apartment is fabulous - a proper little retail strip only minutes walk including H&M & French Connection etc. Lots of boulangeries and cafes. Even when we went sightseeing, nothing felt too far away.
The kids were very comfy on the nice sofa bed and although the apartment only has one bedroom it didn't feel small. I envy Simon's lifestyle - such a fab little apartment, in a great spot, filled with books on travel!
We changed our plans and Simon was extremely accommodating - he went out of his way to ensure we were looked after.
We adored our time in Paris and wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back and hopefully to stay with Simon again. We would definitely recommend Simon's flat.
