This is a HAPPY apartment and it is exactly as advertised. The light pours in from large French windows and the views are great,

Lo herself is delightful, honest and completely reliable. I believe she has travelled a lot and therefore really understands what is important to travelers. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. For example, the lovely marble-topped cafe table on which we ate our meals did not wobble! The bed is truly comfortable, as other guests have noted, and the good quality duvet is toasty warm. Hot water was endless (though we naturally conserve) and instantaneous. The WiFi worked beautifully. The bathroom light and mirror made it very easy to put on make-up. I wish I could say that about most of the Paris hotels where we have stayed. The refrigerator was very clean...a particular fetish of mine!

Additionally, it is in a lovely Parisian neighborhood and we seemed to be the only tourists around which felt wonderful and allowed us to fantasize living there. The owners of the little shops, the restaurants and cafes, the bakeries and grocery stores were welcoming maybe because they are not overrun by tourists. We adored the bakery near the Botzaris Metro stop. We were remembered each time we went in to buy the best baguettes we've ever eaten anywhere in France and we spent our vacation methodically trying to sample every gorgeous pastry in that tiny shop. We would eat the pastries in the morning with the coffee we brewed in our ktichen ...if we hadn't already eaten them in the middle of the night. Walking around the neighborhood in the evening while neighbors were walking their dogs or returning home from shopping for dinner was very romantic and the night views from the apartmentt were lovely too.

The apartment is near three Metro stops with the nearest one, Danube, being just two minutes away. We had a delicious reasonably priced lunch at the restaurant nearest that stop and the waitress told us in French at the end of the meal that we must be Americans because we were so joyous. Also we enjoyed riding the bus from a nearby stop....it was inexpensive and served as a tour bus for us.

The apartment itself has a very French ambience that no hotel could ever achieve.....from the red silk upholstery on the chic couch (with great lower back support) to the fabric-covered walls of the cozy bedroom. The art is carefully chosen and the hand-knotted rug is soft and luxurious to lie on:-)

Can you tell we loved this place? My husband and I try to go to Paris every year and this is now our new home-away-from-home. Thank you une mille fois, dear Lo.
