The communication from our host lllan was rapid. His condo was well equipped with supplies and all the comforts of home. There's a long 21 foot balcony all across the front, high above the activity in the street below, with a view across the rooftops of Paris that took my breath away, raising our enjoyment of the city to new heights. Every day we started our days and ended our nights on that balcony. I love taking the stairs, but my sister raved about the elevator! The big bed was comfy, the two TV's fabulous, extra sheet set, extra blankets, extra cleaning supplies and he left us a bottle of wine! I'd send my friends, recommend his apt highly to all of you and return to lllan's apt when I next return to Paris!
