A very rare find: a large, beautiful house with a spacious private garden on a quiet street in a quaint, elegant and relatively non-touristy corner of Paris (16th). Lots of lovely shops and a farmers' market within 2-3 blocks. Quick walk to Roland Garros (tennis center), Parc des Princes (soccer) and the Bois de Boulogne. Easy metro access to anywhere.
We are an American/French family of 3 couples plus a baby. Two couples shared a large bath (2 sinks plus a separate WC) on the 2nd floor and the parents of the baby found lots of room to spread out in the 3rd floor children's quarters. The hosts generously made their childrens' toys and equipment available for our use. The owners also left plenty of space for us to store our affairs.
The spacious kitchen is located below ground level with ample windows and lighting and is an ideal space for breakfast. We mostly dined outside at a table that seats 10 comfortably and up to 12. Had it rained, the formal dining room would have been a lovely place for meals.
If we come back again as a large group we hope to rent again. I can't imagine a more perfect house for our family group.
