We are a family of four (kids ages 8 and 11) and stayed here for spring break with grandma along for the trip. The apartment is pleasant and has a wonderful view over Bois de Vincennes (bigger than Central Park in NYC), with an east-facing balcony perfect for morning coffee. The neighborhood is quaint and well-heeled, with a few nice restaurants, bakeries, and cafes within walking distance. The metro is about a mile away but an easy walk, and there are busses as well. We went downtown on most days and it never took more than 30 minutes, door to door. We also cooked in a few nights, since there were grocery stores nearby and our young kids tired early after sightseeing (it seemed that most restaurants didn’t serve dinner until 19:00). The only inconvenience was that the kitchen drawers were rather cluttered with obsolete cookware and enough silverware for a small army (but not a single spatula). But otherwise the apartment was very nice, with plenty of room for the five of us and good heating, which we appreciated during a chilly and rainy week. We would definitely stay here again.
