Simply put: this apartment is perfect. The location -- yes, you can't do better. But there's more: the apartment is tasteful, very fresh, very clean and extremely comfortable. I stayed in the winter and the heating was set by a thermostat exactly to my taste. I didn't use the kitchen much, but I noted all the essentials were in place. And I appreciated the large refrigerator -- for storing wine and cheeses! The bed is very comfortable, the towels are luxurious, the lighting in the place is fantastic: lots of options for those who like it romantically dim or bright as can be. Honestly, the unit is even prettier than the photos indicate. Laurent was extremely helpful with my assorted questions. The whole experience was completely wonderful.
