Doninique's place was the absolute best. First, we lived in Paris many years ago. So we know the neighborhood well and love the 16th. So the location is one of the best in Paris. But what we loved most about the apartment was we felt like we were coming home. First, his apartment are like the pics. The furniture is beautiful antiques and you truly feel like you are in a Parisian apartment. Doninique is a true gentleman and was a gracious host. Communication was perfect and timely. We were able to check in late from the train station. The apartment was quiet for a Parisian apartment. Remember, you are in a city, so there is city noise. But it did not bother us. Most important, the building is quiet. The apartment was very clean and all the sheets and towels were spotless. The kitchen was also very functional and had everything we need. Overall, we could not be more happy with the apartment and the experience. We hope to stay there again on our next stay in Paris. C&D
