As Hilton Hotels used to say: "location, location, location". Sufficiently set back from major streets to provide a quiet night's rest (soundproof glass helping also), in a quiet building just steps from everything you would want or need in Paris. The apartment corresponded exactly to the description and the photos. We arrived to find it spotlessly clean with everything in working order. Although fully equipped for self catering, the proximity to several affordable and delightful restaurants made cooking our own meals unnecessary. Sarah is a perfect host. Communication was always timely and perfectly clear. During our brief stay, we always had the sense that she was available to quickly solve any issue which might arise (none did). I spent 16 years in Europe as an executive in a major hotel company with several properties in Paris (including one just a few hundred meters away) so I have both high expectations and a keen understanding of the value of accommodation in different markets. This flat is terrific value and I will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Paris.
