Olivier's apartment is the perfect place to stay for 2 people in Paris!! He has really taken the time to provide any item you could possibly need while being away from home. Let's talk about the practical things first... Having the washer and dryer was a life saver! Each morning after showering we would throw our towels in the wash/dry cycle, and head out for the day! If you're American and not used to traveling on public transportation, using the cell phones in the city will be amazing! Anywhere we went, we were about to look up that directions in google maps and make our way there. The best part is that the Place d'Italie station (just a 2 minute walk from the building) could get us on a subway to anywhere we needed to go. We only needed to catch a connecting subway twice during our trip. We used the phones for everything and we were so appreciative to have them! The pull out couch is the most comfortable one I've encountered. There are 2 pillows for sleeping (1 per person), so if you like having extra be sure to pack them if you can. The nespresso machine in the apartment was wonderful to have as well. We definitely took advantage of that machine to have our espresso throughout the day. I loved having a full set of dishes and utensils so we could easily bring food and wine back from surrounding markets and restaurants after a long day of exploring the city. And the best part... THE VIEW from the balcony. I started each morning and finished each night on the balcony. The view is stunning, and I loved sitting out there looking over the place d'Italie circle to watch life happening on the streets below. Coming from America, were not used to living in small spaces, so when I first walked into the apartment I felt it was smaller than I was expecting, but let me tell you, Olivier had thought of everything to make this place comfortable. There was plenty of storage for our luggage and all of our clothing items to be put away. He had chargers, multiple outlets, and everything from hair gel, to bandaids, to an extra bottle of laundry soap in case we ran out. Staying here was a serious highlight of our trip and one of the best decisions we made. Leading up to our trip, Olivier was always quick and happy to answer any questions we had. And Juba, the young man who takes care of the apartment in Paris, checked in via text to see how our stay was going, was helpful and prompt when I had a question, and as we were leaving I had accidentally left a sweater in the apartment and he ran down (at lightning speed bc we had just walked out) and brought it to me. He is kind, and I honestly wish I would have talked to him more in the beginning because...
