Our stay in Paris was excellent and this apartment was an essential part of what made it superb! Our twenty year old daughter had just spent Fall semester studying in Paris, and my husband, myself and our seventeen year old son came to join her and spend our Christmas holidays in the city. The apartment is exactly as described and was even better in certain ways. There is a newly finished second bathroom that has a fantastic shower. The courtyard and entrance to the building is extremely clean and well maintained. The home is spacious and uncluttered while having a warm cozy and comfortable feel. The hosts were extremely helpful, and welcomed us with a bottle of red wine, box of local chocolates and flowers. We ate (3) dinners at local restaurants recommended in their guidebook and were really pleased. The interior is very quiet, however just steps outside one is taken with lively Parisian life. Highly recommend!
