First things first, the view from the apartment is a DREAM COME TRUE. That is not photoshop or tricky angles to see the Eiffel Tower. My friend and I spent probably an hour taking pictures of each other at the windows. I’m partial to the 7th arrondisement, but nonetheless I think the location is so hard to beat. The apartment is beautiful and very roomy, and has a wonderful espresso/coffee maker. There are shops and great restaurants within just a few minutes walk. On top of that, it was so easy to communicate with her and she provided by far the most thorough details about getting into her place, using things, food and shopping recommendations, etc. I am saving the info to have in hand for recommended itineraries and restaurants for future trips. I’m already dying to go back!
