Olivier’s place combines the elegance of a classic Haussmannian apartment with modern amenities. It’s decor will enchant you with its floor-to-ceiling windows, drapes pooled on the wooden floors, wrought-iron balconies, chandeliers, crown moldings and most stylish decor. It is open and airy with spacious, light-filled rooms. However, comfort is not sacrificed in the least. The kitchen and baths are equipped with up-to-date appliances and fixtures and the bedrooms are comfortable with more than enough storage.
The beauty of the apartment is complemented by its superb location. It is literally in the center of Paris with easy access to all its arrondissements. Many locations are walkable, but for those areas farther out or for those who prefer transit, the metro and RER are right across the street. Another advantage is that this neighborhood is vibrant and well populated with many restaurants, markets and shops right at your doorstep.
Olivier is a superb host. He is generous with his time and knowledge, instructing on the appliances, various amenities in the apartment and sharing insider tips. He is informative, charming and totally delightful.
We couldn’t have been happier with this venue and we highly recommend it. There were four of us — two couples — sharing the apartment and what could be better than breakfasting on fresh baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolat each morning, bought from the boulangerie just two doors down, rated the best in Paris.
