I rented this apartment for a family vacation with my husband, 75 year-old mother, and college-age niece and nephew. It was perfect! The layout of the apartment allows privacy and quiet and also provides generous space for spending time together. The sofa bed in the living room is as good as a regular bed, in terms of comfort, and is very easy to set up. The kitchen is well-equipped - one night when we were too tired to go out, we decided to stay in and cook and had all of the equipment we needed to make a full meal. This is the second time I stayed in this neighborhood and I love it! There are multiple metro stops, two good grocery stores (about a minute's walk from this apartment), and pharmacies all within easy walking distance. Plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops too, and lots of wonderful streets for just walking around and enjoying Paris. Valerie was responsive and wonderful to work with. I hope to be back!
