Practically perfect in every way ! (to quote Mary Poppins). The apartment was spectacular, beautifully furnished, comfortable bed, towels, and sofa. Well stocked kitchen with espresso maker (a life saver). Location couldn't have been better. Many tasty cafes nearby, two metro stops within a few blocks, and walking distance to numerous landmarks. As runners we got up early and ran to the Eiffel tower (2-1/2 miles each way), the Arc de Triomphe (3 miles each way) or just run along the Seine.

The windows were amazing, I know that's an odd comment, but really, with the windows open we could hear all the wonderful sounds of Paris, the cafe downstairs, the hustle and bustle. But as soon as we closed them it was silent, they completely blocked all the outside noise and we could relax (and sleep) in our home away from home.

Julien was out of town when we arrived but made accommodations for us to retrieve the keys and was always avail via text or email to answer any questions and make sure our stay was perfect.

I can't say enough about Julien and his lovely apartment. We will surely stay here again on our next visit.
