I highly recommend this lovely apartment! It was exactly as described, well maintained, updated with modern amenities but full of French and old world charm. The air conditioning was wonderful given the August heat. The elevator was helpful with luggage and a stroller. The kitchen had a great assortment of essentials and the Nespresso machine was a nice touch. The location was truly amazing. It is directly overlooking the Palais Royal gardens and a brief walk to metro/shops/restaurants. Finally, it was lovely to have Franny greet us and show us around the apartment.
