A great penthouse with a fabulous view! The weather was perfect during our 3 day stay, so we spent a lot of time just sitting on the balcony taking in the beautiful view. We had Paris at our feet, why go anywhere else?

It took us exactly 2 hours to get from the CDG airport to the front door in a taxi during heavy evening rush hour traffic. (Taxi cost was 70€) François was not in town that day so her cleaning lady met us with the keys and showed us around. She spoke no English, but we were able to communicate using our second grade French. We were lucky to meet François the next day, what a charming person, so lovely and absolutely Parisian!

Everything was exactly as described. This is a penthouse level one room loft on the top of a fairly new building facing the Eiffel Tower. It is one big space with glass windows and doors all over, very open, very light. François has decorated this space in a very creative and personal way, maximizing the view and maximizing every inch of space. The only thing we didn't expect is that after we got off the elevator on the top floor, we had a set of stairs to climb to get to the penthouse level. So it was a good thing we had very little luggage.
François left a booklet of very clear directions about how to work everything, and with information on transportation, neighborhood stores and restaurants. The only very small problem we had was not being able to find where to leave all the bottle and glass for recycling in the basement level as there were no signs and no dumpsters, just empty halls, so we had to bring them back upstairs again. Sorry, François! But thanks for a wonderful 3 days! We hope to come back again someday!
