A charming Paris apartment - a wonderful host
We spent 25 days in this charming apartment. It was a great location for exploring Paris. The street is lined with small shops, cafes, bakeries, many different food markets, fresh fruits & vegetable stalls, and even a grocery store just a short block away. The street was filled with people and yet it is was quiet at night for sleeping. We would shop for dinner every day on our way back from our daily excursions. There are metro and bus stops just minutes away and you can get almost anywhere you want to go. There is a clothes washer and a drying rack in the apartment, but you can also do what we did. We washed our clothes in the apartment and dried them in a very nice laundromat just around the corner. It is a small apartment but I think that is normal for Paris. It worked out fine for us. The rooms all in a line. That means if you are sleeping in the back bedroom, you have to walk through the second bedroom to reach the bathroom or eat-in kitchen. We were all family, so it was not an issue for us. The large windows open above an inner courtyard and provide lots of light and fresh air if wanted. The listing says the apartment is on the first floor. In Paris that does not mean it is on the ground floor. There is a short set of circular stairs to the apartment. Our host, Isabel is a lovely person who was wonderful. While she doesn't speak English, she is a master of Google translate. She and her husband made sure that we had everything that we needed.
