Haven of peace with TourEiffel view is a perfect description for this apartment. I spent a wonderful month here. Christelle and Sebastien were kind enough to let me check in early and greeted me with a breakfast of pastries, yogurt and fruit. It was so kind of them, especially after an overnight flight.

The apartment looks just like the pictures. It's very bright with windows on 2 sides. Kitchen is fully equipped - even a crepe maker! Washer and dishwasher worked great.

The bedroom is comfortable and quiet. The window is double paned. I didn't hear the children at the school across the street when they arrived in the morning. There's an electric window shade that shuts out light, so it was easy to sleep late.

The living room is comfortable. Sofa bed looks new and high quality. My nephew slept well on it for a week. The coffee table is a bit heavy, so it takes 2 people to move it when opening the sofa bed. There's a good assortment of DVD's, although I never used them. There's a telephone with free calls to landlines in many countries.

The shower works well with good water pressure. It's not large, but I've had smaller ones in other apartments. There isn't much counter space around the sink, although there are drawers below. I ended up using the desk in the bedroom next to the fireplace (it's not in the pictures) for some of my toiletries. The closet door has a big mirror so it worked fine.

The views from the windows are great. Eiffel tower, Panthéon, and the top of Sacré Coeur. One night there was a lightning storm in the distance - it was lovely to watch it from the living room window.

Christelle was quick to respond to any questions I had, like when I couldn't remember how to start the washer. There isn't a book in the apartment with instructions for the appliances - that's about the only suggestion I have for improvement.

Thank you Christelle and Sebastien for a wonderful month. I shall return!
