BEST APARTMENT IN PARIS.
1. Location:
The apartment is 100mts from Louvre and the subway station (Tuileries) is right across the street, supermarket, bakeries, souvenirs, boutiques, restaurants all of them are walking distance.
The area is very safe and has lots of tourist walking around at all times.
2. Accesible:
The apartment is at one of the main streets and most important ones in Paris (Rue de Rivoli), also is located on the first floor so there is no need to use the elevator, you can easily get by the main stairs which are beautiful.
Very simple to get the keys when arrived from the doorman.
3. Size, Comfort and Services:
There is a hallway that takes to the rooms, kitchen, dining and living room, both bathrooms have everything (shower, toilet, sink, towel heating) and one is inside of the main room, a very big table at the dining room for 6 to 8 people, comfortable living room with a sofa bed for additional people, big refrigerator, towels and linens in excellent condition and cleanliness.
AC in the living-dining area and portable pedestal fans in the rooms.
Kitchen is fully equipped (dinnerware and flatware).
Big led TV in the main area (living-dining room) with all the channels Netflix, Hulu, etc.
WIFI super fast and strong signal, you even get the signal in the street outside the building in case you need it for calling a car service.
4. Communication:
Jay is a wonderful host, he was pending all the time that everything worked ok.
His restaurant and supermarket recommendations were excellent:
Angelina (breakfast, lunch and bakery to go)
Ryo (sushi - reservation required)
Café Blanc (lunch - delicious onion soup and croque Madame)
Café Verlet (coffe)
Pierre Hermé (macarons)
Monoprix (supermarket)
My recommendations:
1. After visiting the Eiffel tower walk to Frédéric Sicard Bakery (sandwiches and baguettes), buy everything you need and then head to Champ de Mars park for a picnic.
2. If you are visiting with kids, try the toy boats at the pond in Luxembourg Gardens.
3. Lunch at one of the restaurants at Galeries Lafayette Gourmet building, you can also buy groceries, pastries and macarons.
