This flat truly is as lovely as it looks in its photos and truly represents what Paris is all about. It is situated in a very central location, only 2 blocks from a Metro stop for 3 trains, and several buses stop almost across the street. Although Boulevard Sebastopol is quite busy, as our visit took place during November, the thick front windows do an excellent job of canceling out any street noise.
Alexandre and Marc are gracious hosts. We were greeted by Marc who explained all aspects of the workings of the apartment as well as taking time to show me on a map many points of interest. We were in Paris as a family to see my daughter who was at school there and to celebrate Thanksgiving together and nearby Rue Montorgueil provided some of the best food shopping in Paris. When going over things in the kitchen and I realized some integral equipment for making my preparations was missing, Marc took note and Alexandre kindly delivered all of the things I required well in time for me to utilize them. We had a wonderful feast at a table accommodating 8 and it couldn’t have been lovelier.
5 of us were extremely comfortably situated (although mattresses on beds are indeed quite on the firm side) and all for a price well below the cost of 3 rooms in an extremely modest (dare I say even sketchy?) hotel.
Highly recommended!
