This apartment is even more lovely in person. Thoughtful details make it especially charming - and Corinne left all kinds of kitchen supplies to make food prep easy (oil, spices, etc). The area is delightfully residential and walking to and from the metro stop gives you a great sense of daily life as you pass a school, bookstore, pottery studio, square where kids play soccer and a pizza truck parks on some evenings. The metro is about a 10 minute walk and there are all kinds of shops and restaurants (see Corinne’s suggestions in her generous guidebook) as well as a pharmacy if you need it. Grocery store nearby as well as boulangeries, butcher shops etc so easy to shop to save expenses - with good food, too. Getting into Paris didn’t take long - even during strikes - just about 30 minutes. Montreuil has lots to offer - and getting into Paris is easy. Nice to leave the bustle and enjoy Corinne’s quiet place at night. We could see 5 people (4 singles/1 double) being comfortable here. Bathrooms are really nice - and I LOVE that there are tables and lamps for writing. It was too chilly for us to sit in the garden but I think it much be delightful in warmer weather. We would highly recommend this place and would definitely book it again on a future visit.
