We just returned from a wonderful week in Paris at Nicolas’ apartment in Montorgueil. The flat was very clean, easily accommodated our party of three, and had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable (stocked kitchen, giant bath towels, comfortable bed, pull out soft a, hair dryer and—best of all—a clothes washer). We had a problem with hot water early in the trip, but Nicolas responded right away, on a Friday night, and was able to help us solve the issue. He was willing to accommodate our early check-in, which we ultimately didn’t need thanks to three cancellations and a re-routed flight, but his colleague was very friendly and accommodating when we finally arrived for check-in several hours behind schedule.
The apartment is located in the middle of a mostly pedestrian-only street full of shops, cafes and boulangeries, yet the flat itself is so quiet—we didn’t hear any street noise or neighbors during our stay. The location was a perfect base camp for exploring the city. It was near a metro stop and we found it to be easily walkable to the Louvre and not far from the left bank. For travelers who are less inclined to average 10 miles a day on foot, we found Uber to be a relatively inexpensive and fast option, as well.
If you have mobility issues, this is not the apartment for you: it is a fourth floor walk-up at the top of a narrow staircase, and the loft bedroom is also up a narrow set of stairs. However, if stairs are not a problem and you’re looking for a clean, quiet place to rest your head after a day of exploring Paris, I highly recommend Nicolas’ apartment.
