This is the 4th apartment in Paris that we have rented and clearly the best. I always warn people that every apartment in Paris has something funky but that did not apply to this place. It is very clean, the bed and sofa bed are both comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is large (by Paris standards). There are two cafes in close proximity, usually quiet. You won't hear much noise when windows are closed. There is no air conditioning but there are fans in the living room and the bedroom. Penelope is a gracious host and genuinely helpful. We enjoyed the location, just one street away from Rue Montorgueil, a mostly pedestrian street with cafes, groceries, fruit markets, meat and fish markets, take away food, pharmacies and more. It is short walk to two Metro stops, a little further to Les Halles which is a major stop. I think there are buses on two street nearby.
