We can't say enough how much we enjoyed Faina's apartment. It is a beautiful, serene oasis in an excellent location in the heart of Paris, literally a 10-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. Despite its central location, it is very quiet, and we were able to sleep and relax after long days of exploring.
The apartment is very pretty, in soft colors and with lots of original artwork on the walls. More practically, it is extremely well stocked, and we had everything we needed to cook, do laundry, and live. This apartment would be an excellent choice for longer stays, as it so well-equipped that it's like a home-away-from-home. It also has a lot of closets - a true luxury in France!
Faina was an excellent hostess. She made sure we had an easy check-in, checked in on us a few times during our stay to make sure we were comfortable, and let me keep my bags in the apartment before I had to depart for the airport. She even offered a welcome feast when we arrived, which we enjoyed for a few days so generous was the spread!
In short, we cannot recommend this apartment highly enough.
