We loved every minute of our trip, and this was in no small part due to Olivier's apartment and his hosting. A perfect host who goes out of his way to ensure everything is up to standard :)

Located in the 13th arrondissement, we found the apartment close enough to the centre of Paris to visit all the staple attractions, whilst also being far enough to get fantastic views from the balcony! The view really is superb, and the complementary bottle of champagne was a great extra touch.

Upon arrival we were a little early, arriving 2 hours before check-in. Originally we thought we'd have to leave our luggage before returning to the room once it was prepared, but to our surprise it was already in perfect condition. We were then free to explore Paris straight away, using the apartment cell phone and written guide to help us on our way! :) On that note the two Vélib' bike cards provided were life savers—really useful to travel quickly to the nearby patisseries for breakfast supplies!

The whole apartment is decorated to a sublime level; the fold-out bed is easy to assemble and the TV fully equipped with hundreds of films to relax with in the evening.

When leaving, we had to check-out of the apartment at 11am but Olivier arranged for us to leave our baggage at his friend's apartment until it was time for our flight.

The view from the apartment balcony was truly beautiful and provided picturesque views of the Eiffel Tower and, in the distance, Sacré Cœur.

All in all we loved the apartment and would be very happy to stay again in the future :)
