22 Rue des martyrs is a true Parisienne experience. It’s old and creaky, the kitchen is tiny and the open windows make it lovely and airy. This apartment has all the amenities you need to enjoy yourself in Paris, but if you prefer modern conveniences, then this may not be the right choice for you. The lift is small so you may be better to take the three flights of stairs to work off your morning pain au chocolate! Also noting that the pullout lounges are not the most comfortable bedding option so I would recommend it’s best for a couple without children. The location is fantastic, with food markets cafes and bars at your doorstep and just a short walk to the train making it easy to get around to all the main attractions. Charles is a very hospitable and helpful host and was happy to organise a car to the airport for us.
