Difficult stairs to climb with heavy bags, but once in Rodrigue's apartment, one is overcome with the tranquility of the space, and the visual appeal. The apartment is open and airy, and filled with tasteful art and photos, beautiful and varied wallpaper, a functional kitchen and cozy bath. It was cold during our stay, but the heating system was excellent. There's even a heating towel rack in the bathroom. Added perk: the bed had a good-quality and comfortable mattress. The neighborhood is perfect; many wonderful shops, bars & bistros up and down our street, and all within walking distance to many places you'll want to visit! We hope to stay here again on our next visit to Paris!
