This apartment is amazingly well located and completely charming. We did not have nearly enough time in Paris, and staying here helped us feel as if we had truly experienced this amazing city. From the entryway to the courtyard, the light filled unique space, hand-cut wood beams and wood floors - it was romantic and charming. The carved spiral staircase and the views from every window, and the quiet of an upper floor made climbing the extra flights of stairs well worth it. I was traveling with family and there was enough room for to share the space and have some privacy. I vastly preferred the antiques and eclectic style to IKEA furnishings. Like most apartments in big cities the bathroom and kitchen are very compact but overall the open ceiling and floorpan made it feel spacious. The light is amazing and at all times of the day and night and the rooftop views of the city and the Eiffel Tower were an endless source of entertainment. There is wonderful long table for sharing meals, a full stove with utensils for cooking and two complete groceries nearby. The neighborhood is very hip without being pretentious and it felt quite safe. Public transit all around but walking distance to most major attractions. Host was very kind, communicative and helped with local recommendations.
