Our family of five stayed in Natalie‘s apartment between Christmas and New Year’s eve. The view of the Eiffel tower was particularly fun at that time because the tower lit up with sparkles on the hour throughout the night! The location was fantastic for seeing the Mount Marshall neighborhood of Paris, and we used the metro easily to go elsewhere in Paris. I was so glad to have an apartment instead of a hotel room so that my jetlagged kids would get up and have a snack in the middle of the night without disturbing anyone. Everything was very clean and well appointed. We used the kitchen to prepare breakfast and snacks using things bought from nearby bakeries and supermarkets, recommended by Natalie, although very sadly the recommended award-winning bakery was on vacation at that time. She recommended restaurants as well including excellent cocktails at the terrace hotel across the street. I use the stove to cook only a couple of times, some quick vegetables to balance out the pastries, but it was easy. She left coffee and tea and milk which was very nice. If you are American, note that the shower is sit down in a tub and spray with a hand held faucet, and the toilet is by itself and its own closet. The big screen TV was popular with the kids and we use Netflix as well. Very comfortable beds, and a thin balcony that goes all the way around this corner apartment in a house money and building, so maybe not the best for toddlers to go outside (our kids were older). I loved this apartment and would definitely stay there again! I miss it already. I love the tall ceilings and the stucco decoration in the living room, and the chevron wood floors are just like those in the Louvre. Merci, Nathalie!
