Barbara is a warm and generous hostess and the flat is delightful and comfortable. It is spacious and well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable 'home style' stay in paris. We enjoyed our time there and found it very convenient to transport and in walking distance to some major attractions. The 67 steps up to the loft were initially daunting but I've returned from my trip feeling really well and the exercise is a necessary antidote to the excellent food you will be eating. Don't miss out on the confit de canard at L'Industrie, the cafe on the corner of the block, the wonderful patisserie on the opposite corner, or the cuisine at bistrot moderne just around the corner. I highly recommend this apartment. I travelled with two adult women, but it is also suitable for families, as two of the bedrooms are away from the main bedroom.
