We just returned from our 5 day stay at Christina's home. My husband and I traveled from the US and arrived early. The apartment was easy to find- follow the Seine and it is 1 block over in the heart of where you want to be- a few minutes walk to Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, lots of subway stops, bus, etc. We knew the apartment would not be ready (it was only 10am) when we arrived, but luckily Christina was able to store our bags until the home was cleaned and ready. We returned 2 hours later, up a few gorgeous old flights of stairs to a charming Parisian apartment! It was well appointed- coffee maker, pots and pans, dishes, washing machine, etc. The bathroom was nice and large. The apartment itself was exactly what you would expect of a city home- great character, old windows, beautiful beams. It was a decent size (again we're from the US and by our standards, it was perfect!) Note, there is no a/c as it is VERY hard to come by anywhere in Paris. The loft area was cozy but again, charming and the bed and pillows were super comfortable. Some things that might be helpful- bring small suitcases vs a huge bag. WIFI was AMAZING in the apartment. Local Monoprix supermarket has a great selection upstairs (downstairs is more for tourists). The couch was a great comfy spot for a nap! This is a nice, quiet, safe part of the city close to everything. We loved this arrondissement and would stay in Christina's home again!
