This flat was such a gem...it felt like home! First time in Paris and couldn't have picked a better spot! Metro is two blocks away...neighborhood is full of cafes and shops( albeit pricey ones but great fun window shopping!) The river and major sightseeing areas are a 15min walk through adorably Parisian streets. A Fully equipped kitchen with a lovely market two blocks away allowed for amazing meals cooked at home. Washing machine made packing light a breeze. Pull out bed is a foam mattress and very comfortable. Full bathtub was awesome for a soak after walking all day. Easy to regulate aptarment temperature with both a heater or fan. Read others complained of noise from neighborhood bars...not an issue for us. In the 8 nights we stayed there was expected street noise but it quitited down by 10pm. Gary was right on time to meet us and made the checking process easy and stress free. All this made for a very enjoyable time! Thanks Gary!
