I give this apartment a top rating for location, for comfort, cleanliness, the attentiveness of the owner, and his willingness to provide very useful information and to assist so quickly and fulsomely. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to have a true Paris experience. It is well within walking distance of the Metro, buses, the Eiffel Tower, and pretty much any of the key museums and attractions. But more important, it has the “neighborhood feel” that makes the 7th Arrondissement the most appealing address in Paris. It is not only full of visitors, but the streets are chock-a-block with local residents who make this to me the very best area in the city. Olivier not only met us at the apartment, but helped us carry our bags to the flat. I will advise that anyone who cannot climb 4 flights of stairs (78 steps in total) should know that there is no elevator, but unless you have a medical issue, those steps become easier every day, and the many advantages greatly outweigh that issue. There are some great restaurants in walking distance (several right next door) and across the street a great boulangerie/patisserie for breakfast, and even a Monoprix and a Franprix store for any small incidentals you might need. The TV has Netflix, so on the few rainy evenings when we came home early we could watch programs in English. The apartment overlooks an interior courtyard, but a very large one so it is always bright and cheery, even on rainy days. The bed is super comfortable, the kitchen small but well laid out, and the apartment in general large enough to avoid the cramped feeling of many Paris hotels (and even small apartments). The bedroom is not huge, but the apartment itself more than makes up for that. It was a terrific experience, and I would easily consider coming back again in future.
