Lets get the minor negatives out of the way since nowhere is perfect. My only real complaint was the lack of Air conditioning ( common in Paris ) or a small fan. Although the weather was extremely warm and that would be a non issue otherwise. The apartment is a bit far away from the main tourist sites. Although metro is a breeze and very nearby. We preferred the location. Enjoyed the respite from the busy tourist areas and local restaurants and life were amazing. Muriel was a welcoming host and the apartment had everything we needed to feel at home. Merci Madame
