Very cute apartment in a great location in the Latin quarter of Paris. Great for a couples getaway, a small group of friends or solo travel. Would recommend!

Apartment:
The apartment is very modern. Everything looks as though it has been recently done (new cooker/dishwasher/fridge/shower) and was immaculate when we arrived. Fridge was stocked with water and there was a coffee maker and pods ready for use if needed at home.
Layout: ground floor apartment with the bedroom a floor below the living room/kitchen. While that might sound like it could be dark there’s plenty of light and air from a large raised window in the bedroom (as can be seen in the photos). The bedroom holds a very comfortable double bed and has a wardrobe and under bed storage for personal items. There is an open sink/shower area beside the bedroom which is beautifully tiled and and has an amazing shower (standard shower head or rain shower head with temperature control). As a note for the modest there is no door between the shower and bedroom so you should be comfortable with your travel partner or make sure they know when you’re in the shower. There is a separate small room with a toilet that has its own door. This bedroom would comfortably would fit a couple or two close friends who are used to bunking together (As a small side note the steps to the bedroom are a little steep so might not suit someone with mobility issues).
The living area/kitchen is perfect for 2-4 people comfortably . High ceilings make it feel very spacious. Wood flooring is a lovely touch. We would happily have spent more time here had the city of Paris not been right outside the door.
Location: The location is amazing. Right beside the Metro and several buses allowing you to get anywhere in the city easily (as it’s close to the metro you can hear the faint rumblings of it in the apartment on occasion but it’s not intrusive). We bought the 3-day unlimited Zone 1-3 pass for the Metro/RER/Metro and that got us anywhere we wanted to go in the city and then close to home at the end of the day. The area itself is host to lots of restaurants/shops/bakeries etc. and felt very safe even coming home late.
There are several excellent bakeries close by (Maison Grégoire was our choice for traditional croissants and coffee, or Dose if you prefer a more modern coffee experience)
Host: Anne-Sophie was a great host. Extremely communicative, very friendly and responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay.
Myself and my wife loved our stay in this Airbnb and would definitely stay again!
