I can’t say enough good things about this apartment.
-The location is perfect, the small street is active and lively but the apartment is on a courtyard so there is absolutely no noise. There are 52 stairs to reach the unit, but they are wide and easy to navigate. I had knee surgery 5 months ago and had no trouble at all. There’s a bakery literally across the street (yes, the one with the bread shaped like penises in the window) but it’s not a novelty shop, it’s a wonderful bakery with breads, quiche, and sweets. We went every day. The neighborhood is otherwise filled with shops and cafes and markets and parks. The Pompidou Center is a 5 min walk, the Seine is maybe 10 (if you walk slowly). Metro stops everywhere.
- The apartment itself is a living room, separated kitchen, large bathroom, and loft bedroom. The bed was very comfortable and the unit had everything one might need. It is stylishly furnished, and by Parisian standards has plenty of room. This is someone’s home so treat it with respect.
- The hosts Rodolphe and Nicholas were amazing. Great communication and very friendly. They even gave us some wine when we got there and little treat for our last day.
