We arrived early Saturday morning and as we knocked on the door, I realized my cell phone was still in the taxi - Not exactly the way to start a business trip! Louise greeted us and immediately helped me recover the phone (which we shortly did), no matter that it we arrived very early and were only there to drop off our bags. What a wonderful host!

The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos - large, very well appointed, very comfortable. The large table in the "office", a very large room adjoining the living room, was a great work area, the kitchen surprisingly large, and the living room a great area to relax in the evening.

The location couldn't have been better - my conference was around the corner at the Westin no more than 5 minutes away. The Tuileries great for a walk or an early morning/late afternoon run. Was quite a rainy week, so being so close to shops, a supermarket (again, around the corner), and cafes was wonderful. Several restaurants, literally around the corner, were reasonable and fabulous.

For tourist activities, again great location - Louvre (10 min walk at most), train to Versailles (15 min walk to train, about a 40 min ride), walks along the Seine maybe 10 mins), Place Vendome and window shopping (or real shopping if you're prepared to spend some money!), 20 mins to Arc de Triomphe.

Loved our stay, would recommend to anyone spending a few days in Paris.
