Dan was an exceptional host. He provided thorough communication before the trip which included a detailed welcome package that listed all the pertinent details regarding the apartment and suggestions on entertainment, restaurants, etc. Dan was especially accommodating arranging for us to get the key at a time that matched our schedule.

The apartment is spacious and comfortable in a lovely neighborhood. The kitchen is fully stocked with (my personal favorite) a Nespresso machine which Dan left stocked. The location cannot be beat. There is a washing and dryer in the kitchen so we could throw in a few clothes to freshen up for the return trip. With two young girls this was especially helpful. Of course the umbrellas during raining season was an unexpected convenience, but represents the level of detail Dan has thought about to make his apartment a "home" to his guests.

The location is fabulous. This is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Paris. It is central and walking distance to most of the major attractions (Champs Elysee, Eifel tower, Louvre etc.) but in an upper scale residential area where you feel integrated into the community. For further away destinations, you are 1-2 blocks from the subway or bus stations.

As an added bonus, we had maid service twice during our week stay providing the perfect balance of home and vacation hotel.

We loved this place. It truly was our home away from home. We hope to return.
