We spent two fabulous nights at Patrick's place and will definitely stay there again the next time we’re in Paris. The location is simply perfect — on a beautiful side street, so very minimal street noise, but right in the middle of incredible shopping and restaurants.
It’s just a block or so away from the Metro, so it’s the perfect location as a base to explore Paris. Since we only had two days there, we explored the close surrounding neighborhood by foot. It’s a short walk to the Luxembourg Gardens, Le Bon Marche, and a lovely 45 minute stroll to the Eiffel Tower. We highly recommend Le Prince Racine, a friendly bistro just at the end of the street — we loved it so much we eat there both nights!
The apartment is incredibly spacious over two floors, so plenty of room for a family and to spread out. The kitchen had everything we could have needed and much more, including a dishwasher and combo washer/dryer. The capsule coffee maker made some seriously delicious coffee. There’s a large market for all the essentials just around the corner.
Most of all, Patrick was an ideal host. He graciously allowed us to check in hours before the stated check-in time, which was much appreciated as we were coming directly from the airport with bags. We also appreciated his great communication and willingness to greet us at the apartment upon arrival to welcome us.
This was really a perfect experience, and we hope to have future stays in Patrick’s place when we’re next in the beautiful city of Paris.
