Interesting, spacious, and comfortable, light-filled apartment in a great location. It's located right on one of the best food-shopping and restaurant streets in Paris. Within 1 block of the front door you'll find the best pastries, breads, cheeses, charcuterie, butcher, fishmonger, wine shop, well-supplied grocery stores, pharmacy, and multiple restaurants and cafes. There's a vibrant street scene all day and evening but once you walk through the door from the street, down the walkway to a pleasant, peaceful courtyard you've left bustly Paris behind, and the apartment is absolutely quiet! The only remnant of the street scene is the fragrance wafting from the next courtyard—the ovens of Stohrer bakery/patisserie, which is just two doors away. The apartment is within a pleasant, 5-minute walk of two different Metro stops, and that walk takes you past all of these specialty food shops, restaurants, and cafes. It's just a few blocks away from some of Paris's great attractions—the Louvre, the Pompidou Center, the Palais Royale, the Seine, and so much more. The apartment itself is truly interesting, with clever use of space in old, character-filled buildings. There is a washing machine and plentiful drying racks—our laundry dried very quickly. Lots of closet space. The contactless check-in/check-out were smooth and easy, and Arnaud was a very responsive host. We recommend this apartment highly.
