You will feel like a Parisian soon after settling in. The penthouse is airy and filled with light and Christian is a gracious host. The neighbourhood is walkable and well serviced by bus, metro and regional commuter (RER) trains. Expect some traffic noise from motorbikes on the cobblestone below - this is Paris after all! It didn’t bother me but a light sleeper might want ear plugs, especially if the weather is fine and the windows are open. I would absolutely stay here again.
