We had an excellent stay at this apartment. This apartment is right next to a metro stop and across the street from a supermarket that is kind of like a Target in the US only with much better food including fresh amazing seafood and a fishmonger. This enabled us to cook breakfast in the apartment. We chose to eat out for all the other meals but you could easily pick up groceries and save some money but doing some of your own cooking. The apartment is new inside . We made use of the washer/dryer combination. The king bed was very comfortable and my son slept on the pull out futon which was also very comfortable. The neighborhood was fantastic with excellent bakeries and many restaurants including some on lists of the best restaurants in Paris. GuestReady who manages this apartment was amazing. They had excellent communication with me before our trip and during the trip. It was like having a relative or good friend right there in Paris. They always responded right back to my inquiries. We were in Paris during the Winter and experienced very cold weather and snow. It was so nice to come up out of the metro each day after a long day sightseeing and be right at our apartment. This metro stop is just one stop away from Line#1 which is the main line that goes to the major museums/sights. Between the location/the new apartment interior and GuestReady, this is where you want to stay. ( One note-If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs, which we always travel with - a hospital is close by. )
