The flat was an absolute delight. It was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. It is up four flights of steep (and curving) stairs, typical of Parisian apartments. While I would not recommend the stairs for anyone with mobility challenges, if stairs are comfortable for you, I highly recommend this flat because it's top notch. The kitchen had everything we needed to comfortably make meals or heat up leftovers. And the washer (which was in the kitchen) was really handy. The living room was both airy and cozy (a hard combination to find!). The flat was located in a safe and lively neighborhood (there was a bit of noise from the street, but we liked that) with plenty of delicious restaurants in walking distance (James' recommendations were all spot-on!) as well as grocery stores, a pharmacy, and our favorite: a great boulangerie. We frequently started our days with a fresh baguette from the boulangerie which we brought back to the flat and ate with tea and coffee at the dining table; it was lovely. The upstairs had beautiful light. We really liked that both of the bedrooms and the bathroom were on the upper level. (It's nice not to have to go down the stairs when you get up to go to the bathroom at night!) The beds were comfortable, the right combination of supportive but not too firm. The bathroom was sleek and modern; the shower had great water pressure and it was nice to have a full-sized tub. The wifi was strong and consistent. James was a wonderful host, very responsive and super helpful in answering any questions we had about Paris. Zoe, who checked us in, was warm, welcoming, and shared a lot of useful information about the neighborhood. We look forward to staying here again!
