The apartment was modern, very well-equipped, very clean and comfortable. It is what it is in the pictures. It is cosy albeit small, perfect for a couple. It is a bright and sunny apartment equipped with premium facilities, from the shower, to the kitchen, washing machine and TV. The feel is comparable to a boutique hotel. Even the bedsheets were from Ralph Lauren!

As promised, it is indeed a very short walk to the Eiffel Tower (considering that Paris is all about the walking). There are also a few shops around the corner if you need a quick bite and groceries, as well as a couple of pharmacies. The apartment is also very close to a metro station. It is a safe neighbourhood.

The only disadvantage is that there is no lift, only a narrow and winding flight of stairs, so you will have difficulty dragging your luggage up and down 4 flights of stairs. However, it is all part of the Parisian experience (i.e. a lot of walking! That's how they stay so slim despite their amazing range of desserts)! Climbing the stairs are worth the effort for such a wonderful apartment near the Eiffel Tower at a very reasonable price.

The host is very professional and friendly. Although he wasn't abe to meet up with us, he kept in contact and asked about my stay from time to time.

Overall, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Thank you Gwenael.
