My daughter and I love, love, LOVE this place! There was clear communication from the host and prompt follow-up with important information even before we left for Paris. Simple, straight-forward, no hassle check-in and getting to the apartment. The host (a Super Host to us) met us and helped with our luggage. Because we left in the middle of a workweek from office/school with very little time to pack/edit items properly, our suitcases were heavier than our usual load (I was quite embarrassed when he helped us). The host spoke perfect English, showed us around the apartment and showed us how various things work. The apartment is clean, bright and full of light. Furnished in a way that makes you feel at home - we instantly felt at home. Out of the living room french windows, there are great views of the Parisian residential buildings and skyline, along with a direct view of a path to the Champ de Mars greens (near the Eiffel tower). We were able to rest and relax with wonderful views of the Eiffel tower in the front room and the Invalides dome, which was visible from the bedroom window. I want to emphasize that the apartment is within a secured building that has an elevator which worked efficiently all 9 days of our stay. There are several security features in the building that made both my daughter and I felt safe. Several times, we went out past midnight to the convenient store nearby, or just to walk around, watching city workers hang holiday lights above the streets. We would love to have the opportunity to stay at this apartment again on our annual visits to Paris. The host made a big difference in this wonderful stay (thank you again!).
