My husband and I are frequent travelers who enjoyed an absolutely wonderful nineteen-day stay at Khalil’s incredible apartment.
Everything was perfection. As so many others have expressed, Khalil and his team take great pride in making sure your time in their beautiful flat is both comfortable and stress-free.
Khalil reached out beforehand to ask if there was anything we might like stocked in advance of our arrival at the apartment, and he also made arrangements for our car transfer to and from the airport—not as exorbitant add-ons—but as simple and thoughtful courtesies. These were lovely and helpful touches that gave us very positive first impressions .
When we arrived, we encountered Clara, the apartment manager and Khalil’s second-in-command, who greeted us with a bottle of delicious rosé and a care package of sweets from Dalloyau, the famous Parisian Salon de Thé. So very thoughtful, and so delicious.
The flat is huge—very unusual for a Paris rental—and it is as gorgeous as the pictures indicate. The rooms have been designer-decorated. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. There is a washer and dryer in the unit, but the lovely Clara will happily do your laundry for a nominal fee.
The living room and dining room look out on one of the best streets in Paris. Le Bristol Hotel is but a few steps away, as are many famous shops, among them the original Hermès. President Macron lives in the palais a half-block to the right. The new Canadian Embassy is to the left.
You are not more than a block or two from three separate Metro stations with multiple lines, which we found extremely convenient. There are patisseries, boulangeries, markets, cafés, restaurants, clubs and, of course, the Champs-Elysées, all nearby.
As one of the previous guests observed, if you can’t be happy in this gem of a place, then perhaps apartment living in Paris is just not for you. It is the absolute perfect base from which to explore the city or to just unplug, relax, and get away from it all.
One last note: half-way through our stay, there was a gentle tap at the door. It was Clara, who had thoughtfully made us an entire plate of homemade beignets. They were divine.
We cannot recommend this apartment more highly. It is a place we would send family and friends without hesitation.
