What a great place to stay. We’ve never had a host who communicated so well and so promptly. The apartment was small, but so cleverly designed that it worked really well for two people for a week. We were wondering what the shower situation was from looking at the pictures. Once we got there we discovered that the entire bathroom is a tiled cube and is designed to get wet. there is a lovely rain shower head up high on the ceiling and it works really well. The washing machine is a great plus and the host has provided a drying rack. The apartment has plenty of storage for clothes and suitcases. The place is exceptionally well equipped with lots of little extras that we really appreciated (hangers, spices, coffee pods, snacks, cleaning supplies, etc.) It really is an amazingly quiet building and we only occasionally heard other people. It’s hard to beat the location between Opera and Place Vendome, both convenient and classic and close to the Eric Kayser Vendome bakery. We enjoyed a great stay and would return in a heartbeat!
