Edouard's apartment was a wonderful place for us to stay. It has lots of space and is well laid out. The kitchen is large enough for one person to work in comfortably and the bathroom is large by Paris standards, with new fixtures. The bedroom is a good size with a very comfortable queen mattress and a desk to work at. The apartment was clean and well supplied, and the furnishings were high quality. (Edouard... I love your new leather club chair.)

The Plaine-Monceau area is a great place to stay, if you have spent time in Paris before. (If this is your first trip, you may want to stay closer to the center of Paris.) The apartment is on a lively market street and 1 1/2 blocks from a metro station with the #2 and #3 lines and the #30 bus line. The neighborhood has lots going on, and it is not a tourist neighborhood. You are close to Park Monceau, which is a lovely park. Given the location, it may mean longer metro rides if you want to spend time in areas such as the Bastille, Marais or Luxembourg Gardens.

Edouard was very responsive during the booking process and while we were staying in his apartment. We will definitely consider staying here again when we return to Paris.
