This apartment was PERFECT and truly UNFORGETTABLE. I have been to Paris many times but this place is far superior to anywhere else I have ever stayed. It was extremely clean and well equipped (even a juicer and an espresso machine in the kitchen) and if it weren't for the fact that we wanted to try out some of the amazing neighborhood restaurants, we could easily have cooked all meals for ourselves in the apartment. We just felt so comfortable and at home. It is peaceful and airy and even more exquisite than the pictures.

The location was also really great. I was with my nine year old daughter who doesn't love to walk a lot, and yet we were able to experience the heart of Paris totally "by foot" because the apartment is so well located. In fact, on our first night there we were able to walk to the Eiffel Tower in under 10 minutes. But while the apartment is close to so many famous attractions, the actual neighborhood feels very quiet and quintessentially French so you don't feel like a tourist when you are staying there.

As for our hosts, Rafic and Jasmine are a LOVELY couple. Totally kind and helpful. They always respected our privacy but each and every time I had a question - which was several times a day! - I would simply go over to their flat next door and ask them questions. They NEVER seemed to be bothered by our showing up (even when I locked myself out of the flat); in fact, they seemed genuinely happy to see us and eager to help in any way they could. They also helped us plan our daily excursions to make the most out of our time in Paris and gave us recommendations in order to avoid the overpriced tourist shops and restaurants. In a nutshell, they went far beyond the call of duty to spoil us and give us the most enjoyable stay imaginable. I cannot recommend this apartment highly enough.
