This was our first trip to Paris, and Ghislain made my husband and I feel very welcome. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had even before we arrived, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect apartment: It is a beautiful space equipped with every amenity you need for a truly comfortable stay. Moreover, the view from the oversized windows (Parisian rooftops, Eiffel Tower) is absolutely stunning.

The neighborhood is equally charming with a bakery at the end of the block and plenty of great brasseries. It's a fun area for nightlife, too (don't worry, the apartment itself is quiet!). Also, Montmartre is a few blocks away with all it's quintessential Parisian marches and fromageries, not to mention Sacre Coeur.

There is a Metro stop nearby so it's convenient to travel to other arrondissements (and to/from the airport). If you prefer walking, which we did for the most part, you can definitely skip the train. Depending on how quickly you're strolling you can walk from the apartment to the Seine in about 35 minutes.

All in all, we would definitely stay here again. It's less touristy than some other neighborhoods so we really got a feel for what's it like to live in Paris. And now that we have a feel for it we can't wait to visit again!
