This is a true Paris experience! We loved being up at the top of the building in a place with a historic feel but with all the conveniences of a modern apartment. There are wonderful shops and restaurants right outside the door. It is centrally located to walk to most of the attractions in Paris. Natalie is a very generous and helpful host, it truly felt like we were staying with a family friend. The one thing to be aware of is that there are five flights of stairs to walk up. This was not an issue for us, but it could be for some people. There is an esspresso maker, there was coffee, milk, tea, olive oil, seasonings, and all of the pots, pans, dishes, and utensils we could have needed. This was a great place to stay with my five year old grand-daughter, there were toys, a fish tank, and it was already child safe. I can't think of a better location. I will plan to stay here again next time I'm in Paris. Thank you Nathalie and Giles!
