We were traveling as a big group - 4 couples and 5 kids - and were nervous about accommodations, but Emma's place was such a great fit for us. The location is perfect for strolling to many things; we saw the whole city on foot from this apartment: we walked to the Louvre, the Musee D'Orsay, Le Bon Marche, the opera district, Notre Dame Cathedral, and various markets. There's a Monoprix very close by as well as lots of bakeries and cafes.

Emma was extremely kind and helpful as we prepared to travel and throughout our stay. We locked ourselves out of the apartment the very first day, and she promptly brought us a spare key. She also booked our cars to/from CDG which was a great help to us.

The beds are so comfortable, even the sofa beds. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the necessities in terms of basic cooking ingredients and coffee potWhile the apartment does have a washer/dryer, it is a combination unit, and really does not do a good job of drying in a timely manner. There is a drying rack in the apartment, which we had to use even after our clothes came out of the dryer. This is not a huge issue, but I had packed lightly in the hopes of just doing laundry while we were there, which proved to be pretty time-consuming. I would consider it for emergencies only.

Paris is a beautiful city, and I can't wait to come back. I would absolutely love the chance to stay here again.
