Traian’s place was great. We were a family of 4 with two small children from the US on holiday. The place is huge by European standards and even big by US standards. One of the AC units was not working and Traian came to fix it right away, which saved us during an epic heat wave in Paris. Our kids were actually cold in the morning so the AC really does work. The layout is stylish and what Traian does best is the details - he had a bottle of chilled wine, snacks and water waiting for us. He had stocked the place with more than enough towels, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, even toothbrushes. My wife specifically wanted to mention the high grade iron and ironing board, which made her day after she had to iron 8 outfits that were stuffed in bags from the US for professional photos. The Bastille area is hopping - we were a little afraid we would be kept up all night but you could hear a pin drop since the apartment is set back from the street thru two secured doors (which made us feel extra secure). Metros are nearby so you can reach anything you need to. You can reach the Notre Dame in about 5 mins on the metro. Changes are needed for the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre. Lastly there is some wonderful artwork all over the apartment, but that and the number of stairs should be kept in mind for any families with small kids. Ours are 4 and 7 so understood not to touch anything however if you have smaller children or frankly kids that run amok no matter what you do, you may want to inquire first if some of the artwork, fine place settings, etc can be moved (to protect everyone!!)
