This apartment is a wonderful place to experience Paris. We have stayed in many apartments in Paris over a number of years and have decided to say this is THE best.
Let me say why...and I am being realistic in what may perhaps sound like a an over-the-top review:
* the location was marvellous - in the historic and charming 5th arrondisement, with so many Parisian experiences at hand, but the apartment is quiet and contained and private. Public transport is close and easy and you can walk to Parisian landmarks in very few steps.
* the style and comfort of the apartment is lovely - spotlessly clean and with quality appliances, furniture and equipment and the whole apartment is a great size and layout. The bed is really comfortable and our adult son who used the sofa bed for a weekend said it was great. It has a big, beautiful dining table, a TV system with cable and internet connectivity, fantastic heating, good drapes that make it cosy and allow for good sleep. The kitchen is fully and thoughtfully equipped The bathroom is modern and features the BEST shower ever! All in all, the apartment combines modern comforts with a feeling of old Parisian style and ambience. It is a “home”, rather than a sterile rental space..and that’s a hard thing to pull off in a competitive rental market. Zhengan and Zhejun have refurbished in a well-maintained building and created a delightful place.
* Zhengan and Zhejun are consummate hosts. Their communication was excellent right from the get-go. I could ask questions and get quick responses without the tone from some hosts that sometimes imply one is being annoying! And whilst we were there, they went above and beyond. They provide a wi-fi hotspot which is fantastic for us from Australia when overseas mobile charges are ludicrous. They brought without a request bottled water so we didn’t have to carry it home.
All in all... this is where we will go in Paris (we hope!) from now on.
Make this your choice...you will be very glad you did! Thank you to Zhengan and Zhejun.
