This is a great place to stay to discover Paris. The apartment is beautiful with wooden floors and a real modern feel. Sadly it was a little too cold to take advantage of the small balconies. The bed was comfortable and we found it really quiet at night. The toilet is very French, so no wash-hand basin, and the ensuite is compact but bijoux.
On arrival Etienne had left us a wee note with a bottle of wine from his parent's vineyard and chocolates as well as cold water, juice and milk in the fridge. The small touches like free coffee, tea, butter and jam as well as toiletries were really welcome. Although Etienne was on holiday when we arrived he was in touch before, during and after our stay checking everything was okay - which it was.
The apartment is up five flights of stairs and this was part of the charm for us, and Etienne is clear about this in his description.
We walked just about everywhere from here, so central and Le Marais / Bastille districts offer great cafes, restaurants, cocktail bars and shops.
I would love to stay here again when we're next in Paris.
