Even though Françoise was away in an exotic country for our visit, she gave us excellent service via sms and e-mail. Her friend/assistant met us on arrival at the apartment, and showed us everything we needed to know. Beforehand, we were obviously impressed by the pictures, but they almost do not do this flat justice - when you enter the big terrace, it feels like you get the Eiffel Tower in your lap! There are also two smaller terraces facing the other direction, more South, where you get the sun even when it is lower during the winter months.
We visited in January 2015, when Paris was in world focus because of the horrifying terror cases. But we noticed nothing unusual in this neighborhood, everything was open, the restaurants were full and the mood was good. Of course there's tight security at the Eiffel Tower, as usual and as it should be.
We cannot recommend this flat, and Françoise, highly enough! Hope to be back soon!
