This apartment was one of the best I've stayed in. It's huge by European standards and was very comfortable for 3 adults. We were travelling with 3 other family members who stayed nearby, but our apartment was the main gathering place when we all got together. The dining table could easily accommodate all 6 of us. We shopped for food at the Bastille market on Saturday and Thursday and my cousin, a retired chef, cooked for everyone a couple of times.
Because Carole was out of town when we checked in, Michel, the apartment owner, met us and showed us how everything worked. He was very helpful and made it easy to communicate because his English is much better than my French. Michel arranged for us to have an extra key, which we left with the concierge the day before we left.
This property is in an 18th century hotel particulier that has been renovated nicely. Very quiet, safe and private. Because it was chilly, we didn't use the outdoor space, but I can imagine it would be great in warm weather.
The description doesn't mention that there is a half-bath powder room off the kitchen, so it's got 3 toilets. Both bedrooms and full bathrooms were very spacious. The main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. The second bathroom is meant to be shared with a third bedroom, but that bedroom is used for the owner's personal items and not rented out.
I would highly recommend this property - it's a terrific location with some of our favorite shops and restaurants on nearby Rue des Francs Bourgeois, the main shopping area. It's also near metro lines 1 and 8 to get around Paris.
Carole is an excellent communicator and answered any questions very quickly. Thanks to Carole and Michel for a wonderful stay!
