Annika's place is a rare find in Paris: quiet but close to tourist area; got everything you need even it's a 1 bedroom apartment; close to many great local groceries/ restaurants owned by super friendly people within 10 mins walk-
Shiba café (gourmet coffee), Bong (Korean BBQ), Le Bal Blomet (jazz shows), Le Bon Goût Fermier (cheese), Maison Vérot (cold cut and prep meals), Ty Breiz Crêperie, Marché Saxe-Breteuil (Thursday/ Saturday farmer's market), Mori Yoshida (high-end pastries shop).
If you have kids, don't miss out Oiseau-Lunaire Square park next door and ÔTIPI (toy cafe + toy shop) next to the farmer's market (Marché Saxe-Breteuil) are good places to hang out with your little ones. You may also take 89 to see Jardin des Plantes which has a beautiful little zoo inside or go to museums with the metro.
The apartment itself is beautifully filled with artworks and do have good space to work, rest and cook :) Working professionals with a kid like us do appreciate the setting and the hospitality of the concierges who greeted us every day. We will recommend Annika's place to anyone who wants to have a great local Parisian experience!
P.S. Even though there is a lift, the renters would still need to take 3 small staircases to reach the apartment. Probably not for people who cannot take staircases or with a few big suitcases after big shopping in Paris.
