If I could imagine living in Paris, this would be the apartment that I would imagine myself living in. The place is clean and thoughtfully designed with all of the basics you would need for making meals or if you wanted to go out to eat, there are plenty of fabulous options within walking distance in the Marais or near Oberkampf. The apartment is on the ground floor which I was a little concerned about for privacy but the windows are treated so that people can't look in and there are security bars on the windows leading outside to the street. Also note that there is a church down the street and those bells aren't shy on Sunday morning. :-) I enjoyed my time so much, I'm already looking into booking my next Paris trip in the fall!
