We were looking for a place to call home during our month-long stay in Paris. This apartment was almost perfect in every sense. The location was exactly what we were looking for-- not terribly busy with tourists, yet close to the city center. We could access four Metro stations and five bus lines within a five-minute walk. There was a huge market on Thursdays and Sundays just a short walk away. It is a beautiful, lively neighborhood with plenty of dining options.The apartment is spacious, bright, tastefully decorated, and warm. The host thought of everything one might need, including stationery, a computer, and even needle and thread. The kitchen was also fully functional, though we couldn't get the oven to work; the microwave was fine, and that's all we really needed. Jean Pierre responded immediately to all our questions, and I am sure he would have fixed the oven if we had asked. Margaritha came every Friday to clean the place, and she was lovely and incredibly helpful.The only surprise was that the toilet is detached from the bathroom. It would have been nicer if they were connected, but it took us just a couple of days to get used to. Each was nicely appointed and very clean.When we return to Paris, we have no doubt this will be our home again.
