This apartment is luminous, clean, and comfortable. The historic building affords a private respite from the city's energetic pace, also promising a restful place to sleep. It is in a privileged and safe location, very suitable for women, small families and single travelers. Centrally located, but tucked into one of Paris' oldest streets, it is very easy to walk to metros or simply walk throughout the city from this location. Groceries, bakeries and restaurants are a stone's throw away- very convenient. When we visited, the building was very peaceful, as were the surrounding streets. The kitchen is completely functional, the bathroom is clean and restorative, and the laundry machines are in good order. The images presented on the advertisement are true to life (even better in real life), and the check in instructions were clear and easy to follow. We appreciated that the owners were discerning about who had access to the building, creating a safe and respected environment. This apartment has been well maintained and updated, preserving the essence of a very historic building. It is not a sterile cookie-cutter hotel room, but has an elegant and refreshing charm that offered us many sound nights of sleep and a rejuvenating start each day.
