I stayed in Gilbert's apartment for the month of April and I hope to return very soon. The location is excellent near two metro stops, many restaurants and directly in front of the Medici Fountain. What I enjoyed the most was the glorious view of the Eiffel Tower and sunsets each evening from the beautiful big windows and balcony. The master bedroom and bath are quite large and comfortable. The guest loft is small but useful for guests. Gilbert's kitchen is well-equipped with spices and essentials and I cooked many meals there. I loved the decorations and Gilbert's collections and artwork. The light streaming from the french windows is just glorious! It is a special place and I felt lucky to stay there for an entire month.
A couple tips for the shower: Only the right knob turns but after a few minutes to warm up you get great water pressure and a good temperature. Yes, it drains onto the floor (shower floor is sloped the wrong way) but I learned to roll up a face towel and place it at the inside edge of the shower door and this helps greatly.
Thank you Gilbert for your hospitality and a wonderful month!!
