Krystyna’s apartment is every bit as cool and beautiful as it looks in the photos. It is open and spacious, and you can see the rooftops of Paris through your many windows. I was surprised by how quiet the apartment is! It is away from the street and opens onto two quiet courtyards—a true, calm oasis in a very lively neighborhood. The location is outstanding! This area of the 11th is bustling and friendly, away from tourists and with a great “real Paris” vibe. It has terrific restaurants, bars, and shops in all price ranges, and is very close to one of the biggest and best markets in Paris. During my three-week stay, I shopped for food many days at the close-by Marche d’Aligre and cooked in the apartment’s large and well-equipped kitchen. You can also walk easily to Bastille, the Marais, Notre Dame, and beyond. And you are steps away from several metro stops on great lines that will take you anywhere in the city. Krystyna is a wonderful host. She met me at the apartment for an early check-in and communication with her was super easy before and during my stay. I loved this apartment and would stay again in a heartbeat! Thank you for everything, Krystyna!
