We enjoyed our stay at Clotilde's apartment. We arrived on Christmas Eve so everything was closed the first couple of days we were there, but when business resumed, the neighborhood was quite active. There are two grocery stores nearby (we loved the Monop better than the Leader Price) as well as a bakery and a couple of restaurants. We preferred the Thai restaurant (Doi Suthep) to the Chinese. Two train stations are easy walking distance, but we opted to use Uber and there were always plenty in the area.

We had a three-year-old with us and so the interesting and lovely knick-knacks were extremely tempting for her little hands, and we had to move quite a few things away. The stairs to the upstairs bedroom can be tricky and it's challenging to get a suitcase up there. We also didn't use the downstairs bath much as found it hard to keep the floor from getting wet.

The kitchen is lovely if you plan to eat at home (which we did) and well equipped. We also spent many cold evenings on the super comfortable couch. We really enjoyed our stay and are happy to recommend Clotilde's beautiful home for anyone visiting Paris.
