APPARTEMENT LE MERIDIEN, Paris

The apartment is in a safe, clean neighbourhood with two supermarkets, several cafés, bistros and shops within a few minutes' walk. Denfert-Rochereau Metro provides direct access to the RER B line to Orly and CDG airports, as well as Metro lines 4 and 6, connecting to the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Trocadéro and Luxembourg Gardens. The Catacombs are a 7-minute walk. The area is well-served by public transport while remaining calm and less touristy.

The apartment has two separate bedrooms (one double, one twin) plus a sofa bed in the living area, comfortably accommodating up to 6 people. All rooms open onto an east-facing balcony. The lounge includes a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a DVD player. The bathroom is separate from the toilet and features a large walk-in shower and a hairdryer. Air conditioning is provided via a portable air cooler and fan rather than split units - effective for comfort. Bed linen and towels are provided. The property is located on the 8th floor of a secure building with two lifts.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, electric kettle, cookware and an espresso machine, making self-catering easy. The dining table seats all guests. Breakfast is not served but nearby grocery shops (Bio Vital, Le Petit Chez Soi) are within 300 metres. Many bistros and cafés - such as Escale a Saigon (0.5 km) and La Vie d'Ange (0.5 km) - are open in the evening for those who prefer to eat out.

The apartment does not have a spa, wellness centre or swimming pool. Leisure options rely on the surrounding quiet residential area and easy access to Parisian parks such as Luxembourg Gardens (2 km away). The east-facing balcony provides a pleasant spot for morning coffee or evening drinks.

Wi-Fi is free throughout. Private underground parking costs €15/day and requires advance reservation (height limit 2m). Luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out. The apartment includes a washing machine and dryer, ironing facilities, and a welcome from a building manager who can assist with questions. The secure building has two lifts.
