Centrally located in the 16th, steps to an excellent boulangerie/patisserie, Monoprix, and many surrounding cafes and restaurants. You have your choice of two metro lines to venture forth from to explore Paris. You can walk to the Seine, even. The building itself is very secure with two coded entrance doors. The stairs from the ground to the first floor are not too narrow. I have seen much worse. Excellent TV quality and Wifi. Fridge and freezer are very cool, which is good. You also have a cross breeze between the living room downstairs and the windows in bedrooms upstairs. Exterior blinds are heavenly on the bedroom windows. The smaller bedroom has a bed that is rather plush and adequate. The master bedroom is suited more for those that enjoy a firm bed. If you have never been to Paris, be aware that you probably won't get much sleep. Save that for elsewhere. It is very, very vibrant. Alas, Charles communicates excellently. The apartment is one of a kind that you would probably never see again. Chock full of unique pieces and a feast for the eyes in terms of art and history. The neighborhood is quite safe, though not always quiet. If you don't expect quiet, you will be fine. This is the only place I have stayed in Paris, so I cannot compare, but I am sure there are other areas where it is much more crowded and loud. Just be aware you are close to the main road, Rue de Passy, and don't expect quiet, at least not in the summer when you must have windows open most of the day. All amenities functioned as they should. Location can't be beat. On a side note, if you want to wash anything and hang it dry, you should bring a traveler's line that can be put up in a bathroom, across the bathtub. Otherwise, there's a laundromat behind Passy Plaza/Monoprix, where you can wash and dry. Thankfully, this was our last stop in France, and I quit being the maid, let the dirty clothes accumulate and simply enjoyed. If you do need to dry though, I really recommend that laundromat, it'll be back from Rue de Passy behind McDonald's. We also saw another on a side street off of Victor Hugo (Rue or Avenue), so I think this is a common need. I also have to recommend You Decide cafe on Victor Hugo. It's within walking distance. Excellent fresh juice, French toast that melts in your mouth, pour over filtered coffees, and more. Wifi and they speak English if you need it. The boulangerie around the corner on Passy with the red awning also has magnificent almond croissants, truly. Bon voyage!
