Marie’s apartment is lovely and very comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay. The area seems safe and the apartment is close to several grocery stores. We cooked most of our own meals during our visit and the kitchen is well-equipped, including a full-size refrigerator and freezer, cooktop, and microwave.
It was lovely to be able to relax on the terrace with a glass of wine and watch the lights on the top of the Eiffel tower or the lightshow from a thunderstorm rolling in. The terrace is covered so a light rain doesn’t have to keep you inside. 😊
Walking to many locations from the apartment is quite feasible – for me it was about 15 minutes to the Champ de Mars, 30 to Invalides, 45 to the Arc de Triomphe, and around an hour to the Île de la Cité. I took metro to some more distant locations, and the Charles Michels station is quite close (though I highly recommend using the RATP app because it was often more efficient to walk to a different line and minimize transfers). There is an RER C stop about 15 minutes away that made getting to Versailles quite easy.
On the first night I kept the windows open but traffic noise kept me awake (the street is on a bus line). With the windows closed, however, the apartment is plenty quiet and there are some very cool roll-down shades that block the streetlights at night.
We did have an issue with the key upon checkout – be sure to leave the key where you’re instructed (and not in the interior door lock) to avoid locksmith fees. However, the property management company in charge of the apartment is very responsive and reasonable, so I feel like our issue was resolved fairly.
Overall, I very much enjoyed my time at Marie’s apartment and would certainly recommend it to others!
