Location, location, location!

This apartment was located two blocks from Rue Montorgueil, which has everything a traveler could want. Several bakeries, cheese shops, wine stores, grocery stores (marche) and wonderful cafe/restaurants. Rue Montorgueil is a pedestrian street, that's mostly closed off to traffic. It became one of our favourite streets in Paris.

The apartment is a short (less than 15 minute) walk to the Louvre, Jardin de Tuilleries, and the Seine. An added bonus: there is a Metro (subway) station at the end of the block.

It was my first trip to Europe and my partner's first trip to France and we were a little unsure about what to expect. We were relieved that the apartment was exactly as described and seems much larger in real life than in pictures. The main floor included a large living area (two couches, coffee table, large screen television and desk) and a fully-equipped kitchen (sink, stove, oven, mini-fridge, microwave and even a dishwasher). The bathroom setup is a little unusual because the toilet is on the main floor and the sink and shower/tub are upstairs. Steps upstairs lead to a second floor mezzanine bedroom/bathroom with a queen-size bed. Free wi-fi was included. The apartment would be best suited to a single person who values comfort and amenities or an intimate couple.

Upon arrival, Jeremie has a helpful two-page document that helped us make ourselves at home, and answered any questions we might have had. Jeremie also provided his email and phone number, in case we had more questions.

On our last night in Paris we met Jeremie for dinner. He is a wonderful and gracious host, and makes himself available for any questions or concerns his guests might have.

The only drawback was that a construction crew was working on the building next door during the time of our stay (on weekdays only). They start between 07:00-08:00, and the noise made it difficult to sleep-in. Most days it wasn't an issue because we wanted to be up early to see all that the city has to offer. If sleeping-in is an integral part of your vacation plans, we'd recommend you ask Jeremie whether construction will be taking place during your visit. If not for the construction, we would have given this apartment a 5 star rating....

If we are ever lucky enough to visit Paris again, we would not hesitate to book this apartment!
