Evelyne’s apartment is ideally located in one of the most vibrant areas in Paris. A short walk straight down the road will take you to the heart of the Marais. Adjacent are the trendy areas of Oberkampf and Canal St. Martin, so if you want to immerse in the culture, there’s an abundance of bars, cafes and restaurants in every direction. There are 2 Metro stations just around the corner - and several more in the area, including the major hub, Republique- making it easy and convenient to get around most of the city and beyond. The apartment is on the first floor of a unique building, charmingly situated at the junction of two single-lane streets. It is extravagantly spacious for a couple; and bright and airy, with large windows in every room. Although in a busy neighbourhood, it seems to exist in a relatively quiet pocket, so with windows closed we were not bothered at all by street noise throughout our stay. It has a small kitchen equipped with everything you might need. We particularly loved the very efficient washer dryer, since my wife and I only packed carry-ons for our trip. Evelyne was a gracious host from the start, asking us about our interests and giving excellent recommendations- from art galleries to restaurants- which certainly enriched our trip above the regular tourist experience. We have fond memories of our stay and hope to return again in the future.
