The best part of the apartment like in all real estate, location. The apartment is a 5 minute walk to Arc d’ Triompe, and anther 2 minutes to Champs Elysees. There is a nice bakery (Eric Kayser) and a nice walk-in restaurant (Le Touring) which serves French as well as Italian entrees. The Argentine station is a few minutes away and the Victor Hugo station is a little further but still close. The apartment is clean and well maintained. The apartment has a kitchen area, a queen bed (room) and a loft with a full/queen size mattress that can (and did!) sleep two kids in a pinch. In addition there is a small living room to relax after return from a day in the city. The house is full of very nice books, plants and decorations (include two, I think African, enigmatic Giraffe statuettes (with painted nails!) giving it a great ambience. As most places in Paris, people from US might find the apartment and the bathroom a bit small but it provides the right Parisian charm. There is no washer in the apartment though there is a laundromat just a few steps away. Daniel (the host) even offered to have the laundry picked up and delivered back in two days.
Daniel was a great host and was in constant communication. We reached a little early (around noon) and we had someone to show us in and explain the amenities. There was even a big almond cake waiting for us (sorry Daniel, we could not finish it, it was great!).
We loved our stay at Daniel’s place and would recommend it wholeheartedly.
