Ludwig was very helpful and easily contactable, we were dropped at the wrong address by our taxi and Ludwig waited for us to show us the apartment although it was getting late. The apartment has everything you’ll need for your stay in Paris, the bed is really comfortable and just what you need after a day of walking. There’s the Le marche d'Aligre markets directly across the road and it’s a great starting point to stock up a backpack full of fresh food for your days adventure – don’t forget a trip to the wine shop, there’s one on the left as you descend into the outdoor section that will open the bottle for you and give you some cups. You can drink anywhere in Paris so we would find a nice park for a picnic and just take all the history in while enjoying a wine and good food.

One of the best boulangerie in Paris is just up the road next to the small park, Blé Sucré at 7 rue Antoine Vollon. Turn right as you walk out of the apartment block, cross the road then turn left after the park and it’s a little shop just up on the right hand side (mid way up that side of the park). Also behind the apartment two blocks up there is a Breton creperie and a Vietnamese that gets very busy called Paris Hanoi if you are looking for good food close by.
