There are so many things that are great about this listing. Our family of 5 stayed there for one week and it could not have been better. Some highlights:
1. Location: very, very close to three lines (stops at La Motte-Picquet
Grenelle, Duplex, and Avenue Emile Zola). Very safe. We could simply not have been happier with the location because of convenience.
2. Layout: this seems like a very generously sized apartment for European standards. Beds are very comfortable. My wife and I took one room, our two daughters split the queen into two twins in the upstairs room and our college-age son took the more private downstairs bedroom. Noise travels, so it's not necessarily conducive to sleeping late, but it was fine.
3. Amenities: Fantastic. Monoprix is nearby for staples - paper towels, Nespresso pods, etc. but the initial provisions were awesome. Washer/dryer is very helpful. it's better to do small loads, and it's one unit that switches from washing to drying. Drying took a long time, but it's a very nice washer/dryer combo. Just know that doing multiple large loads will be challenging since cycles take a long time.
4. Interactions with Stephan: Stephane was a phenomenal host. We were allowed to drop off our bags after our early US arrival (about 10am) and then we were back in the room by 2-3pm. he allowed a late checkout since we had a 4pm flight, which was remarkably generous. Couldn't have been better.
Very clean, very well done. Our trip to Paris was made all the better by Stephan's listing and his hospitality.
