This flat is a true gem!!! I was lucky enough to spend eight days in Paris and Gilles's apartment made my stay absolutely perfect. The apartment looks exactly as advertised. It is fully equipped with a washing machine and small kitchen. The pullout bed is one of the best I have ever slept on. The apartment was extremely clean, organized and comfortable. My flight arrived later than scheduled but Gilles was more than accommodating and made sure that he arrived at the apartment before I did so I did not have to wait alone (thank you!). He was extremely welcoming and carried my luggage up the five floors to the apartment (great workout, especially after all the chocolate croissants I consumed!). He gave me a detailed tour of the apartment and make sure I knew where everything was located and how everything worked. He also had stocked the apartment with lovely French soaps and wine (oh la la!) Gilles's customer service was excellent and very much appreciated ! (Much better service compared to a hotel). The location of the apartment is IDEAL, especially for first-time visitors to Paris. It is just a five minute walk to the metro line one which leads to the Louvre, Champs Élysées, and Arc de Triomphe. Make sure you take the time to explore the Le Marais neighborhood as well! It is so full of life, amazing food and energy! However, the apartment is nestled on a quiet and calm street so you can rest easy at night after a long day of sightseeing.
I HIGHLY recommend this flat to anyone considering a visit to Paris. I couldn't ask for anything better! I am already missing Paris and cannot wait to return to this beautiful city and Gilles's flat! Thank you, Gilles, for everything!
