Quick and easy access to line 1 metro was a priority. Great connection with host. Suggest nearby Prix grocery stores or market during the day. Take-out vendors and restaurants nearby. Nice to be in a non-touristy neighborhood. This is a second floor apartment with elevator access, if you don't want to use the stairs. Apartment was nice and warm in the winter.Had enough dishes and cookware for six people, plus a draw-leaf table and six chairs for comfortable meal times when not touring. Appreciated the use of the washing machine and the double sink area in the bathroom to keep toiletries organized. One bedroom has good floor space for the dryer rack so you don't have to trip over it in the living room area. The second bedroom is tight, but we've stayed in places that were literally wall-to-wall beds. It's an old building, so don't expect everything to be perfect-think about why you are in Paris anyway. We'd stay here again.
