Lovely family apartment in such a wonderful neighborhood in Paris. Super convenient (Metro and bus literally two blocks away as well as grocery, pharmacies and many restaurants, bakeries and bars) but very quiet, secure and private. We were also walking distance to the Latin Quarter and so much that Paris has to offer.
The home (fourth floor with a small elevator) was clean and so well equipped with ample sleeping for four people (one double/queen in the master and two loft beds for children/teens) and a pull-out sofa which would accommodate another two people, if necessary. My two daughters and I had plenty of room and we even had a guest come for one night and stay on the sofa bed. The hostess left plenty of drawers and closet space to store our things.
Since this is a family’s home, all of the comforts of home were present. There was a washer (with the standard Euro built in dryer which I can never figure out but there was also a drying rack which came in handy), a fully-outfitted kitchen, fast and reliable wifi, a piano (so my girls were able to keep up with their daily practice) and a great bathroom with the commode in a separate room. (NOTE: If you’re round, it might not be easy to get into the shower as the opening is about 13-14”. I’m a larger (size 14 US) woman and just barely fit in. The homeowner warned me about this before we booked so it’s important to be aware of this - especially if you’re pregnant or on the larger side.
Communication with Dominique, the owner, was stellar. She was present when we arrived (a bit earlier than we'd advised her originally but she greeted us in such a warm and welcoming manner) and showed us around the apartment (and pointed out the details were also included in her “guidebook”). She even walked us out when we said we wanted to grab some lunch and pointed out some of the great spots in the neighborhood. She checked in us via text during the week, helped me with an issue I had with the unscrupulous cab driver from the airport and was even so kind as to mail a package for me after we’d left.
We would DEFINITELY stay in her apartment again when in Paris. She was an amazing hostess, her home was perfect and the neighborhood was safe and convenient. Highly recommend!
