I cannot say enough kind words about Bernadette and her apartment. First, it is simply STEPS away from the Metro station and STEPS away from the Rue Cler shopping and restaurant area. PERFECT location. Second, the apartment is PERFECT, in every way: extremely clean, extra towels (that match!), soaps, shampoos, cookies, teas, maps, ironing board and iron, hair dryer, comfortable bed, every single kitchen appliance you could need, right down to the apple corer and electric juicer! The decor is SO gorgeous with black out drapes and stunning beautiful hardwood on the floors, the moldings, doors, countertops, and the lovely touch of a wood beam in the ceiling separating the living area from the kitchen area. Just perfect in every way. It is quiet at night and, should you leave the curtains open, a beautiful way to wake up each morning with the sun streaming in. The common areas of the building are sparkling clean and quiet as well: the stairs, the foyers and the elevator. We go back to Paris every year and Bernadette's apartment is the place I will search for before I consider any others. Thank you, Bernadette, for making our stay a really wonderful experience.
