We spent a month here in the fall and were able to enjoy some time on the large terrace. As temperatures dropped and it rained on and off, but we were able to dine al fresco a couple of times. The views of the neighborhood and top tip of the Eiffel Tower make for a nice setting, especially at night.
We loved being in the 16ème! It isn’t crowded with tourists, is close to the Bois de Boulogne, and gives you the feeling of actually living in Paris.
We loved shopping at the Tuesday/Friday outdoor Marché Gros-la-Fontaine and speaking French with the locals. (When there, be sure not to touch the products but rather ask the vendor for what you desire!) We also really loved being able to shop almost daily at La Grande Epicerie (two blocks away). They have high quality food, wine and the best baguettes in the neighborhood.
There is a metro stop (La Muette Line 9) three minutes by foot and the RER stop Gare de Boulainvilliers is directly across the street. These make it super easy to get to anywhere you want to go in the city.
The beds are comfortable and the apartment came well-stocked with basic cleaning supplies, paper products, and some basic food stuff that made it convenient. However, the stove and kitchen supply situation made cooking a challenge for someone who enjoys cooking from scratch and entertaining but we managed and ate well.
We recommend this apartment in a modern building with a very friendly concierge if you like to be off the beaten path and want to live like a local in a vibrant neighborhood.
