My fiance and I had a GREAT experience at Francoise's penthouse! This was our first time in Paris. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! The view is absolutely amazing! No seriously, incredible! Front row seats to the light show! Prior to your stay, Francoise sends thorough information for finding the building, local restaurants, grocery stores, and transportation. The unit is admirably spacious, and the building is clean and quiet. The washer/dryer unit was easy to use, and she provides detergent, as well as, fabric softener. I was pleased that she had an iron, as well as, a blow dryer--necessities when traveling! Each morning, we woke up to the sun rising behind the Eiffel Tower. It was beautiful! If you are going back and forth about booking this penthouse, DON'T! Life is short, pay a little extra to live lavishly during your time in Paris! We have memories to last a lifetime!
