Greg's apartment is the apartment we wish we owned. We absolutely loved staying at Greg's and our 13 year niece thought it an absolute blast that she could see the Eiffel tower from the terrace. The terrace was by far our favourite part but that was in part due to the remarkable summer weather we had during our stay. The rest of the apartment was stylish, comfortable and with all the home comforts we could have asked for. The kitchen is surprisingly big for Paris and the beds are of 5 star hotel quality.

The location of the apartment is in an area we had never ventured before but we now realise how much we had been missing. The metro is close as is Gare du Nord, there are 3 or 4 velib bikes stations within 200 metres and its a 20 min stroll to the Louvre. The apartment is surrounded by great cafés and restaurants as well as the every tempting patisserie (we ate fresh pastries on the terrace every morning!), fruit and vegetable shops and a good supermarket up the street.

Although we didn't meet Greg he was very gracious host. He responded to texts lightening fast and was very accommodating and equally helpful.

We wish were able to give the apartment and Greg more than 5 stars, I cant recommend either of them highly enough.
