My wife and I, our 14 year old son and 11 year old daughter stayed in this beautiful apartment in mid-August 2009. The trip that we were on included time in Rome, which is a “walking” city. Since Paris is so big, the key to getting around is the awesome metro system and this apartment is close to the St Placide metro, which is a very good line and not too much further is the Montparnasse Bienvenue metro which gives you even better access to the city. The neighborhood is safe and the apartment is very quiet even though there are a lot of shops within a few steps, a great bakery right next door, a very good brasserie right across the street and Bon Marche down the street.
The interior is well thought out, there is a kitchen with all necessary appliances but it doesn’t take up too much room. There are two sofa beds (one full size and one queen size) in the living area that are much more comfortable for sleeping on than any sofa bed I’ve ever found in the states. To get to the bathroom you have to go through the bedroom which was the only minor downside of the apartment, but it really didn’t cause an issue with privacy for any of us.
The apartment has modern furniture, appliances and bathroom, and the portable air conditioner was a god-send because we hit Paris during a time when they had 98 degree temps, but the courtyard gives it that classic Parisian charm, so you don’t just feel that you’re in Anytown, USA. One quick tip: Make sure you understand that there are switches laid out in strategic areas of the courtyard for when you stay out after dark (although not knowing how they worked upon returning after our first night of touring gave us a great memory that will stay with us forever).
In the end, we whole-heartedly recommend this apartment, it is a big part of our family’s “experience of a lifetime” that we had on our 2009 European vacation |
