Stephanie’s place is absolutely the best location. My husband and I had the pleasure of staying here for almost one month. I’ve spent several weeks in Paris at different times of my life, and this area and location is the best!
You have everything you need close by and it was perfect for immersing yourself into Parisian day to day life. Its close to the great shopping at the grand boulevards and the beautiful Opera house. It’s walking distance to the Louvre, Montmartre, and the hip marais areas, while allowing you to avoid the chaos of being in a touristy area. The metro stop is a short walk away (2-3 mins) and you have some of the best bakeries and specialty foods a few streets away at the famed Rue Martyrs. There are plenty of excellent bakeries and bars/restaurants close by.
The view is onto the bustling street below but it’s surprisingly not too noisy. You can’t hear your neighbours. You can open up the windows on both sides of the apartment to get a breeze and some fresh air. I would note that the place gets dusty quickly because of the windows, but it’s manageable. The shower is great and there’s good water pressure. There is also a lot of storage space for your things. The apartment is on the older side, but we had everything we needed and the area was very safe, even at night when the locals would pour into the streets to share a drink with friends.
The internet speed is excellent…like near gigabit speeds for download and upload.
Stephanie and Rodilin were a great team to work with. Always responsive and helpful. The apartment was thoughtfully prepared. The welcome basket was a nice touch. Overall, we would come back in a heartbeat.
