I am so happy I chose to stay in this apartment. It was perfect for my first trip to Paris — clean, well situated in an excellent neighborhood, quiet for a good night’s rest after a long day of exploring, and views à couper le souffle (breathtaking)! Most importantly as a woman traveling solo I felt perfectly safe even when returning at night.
But the views… I will never forget the moment I opened the balcony doors and saw the gorgeous architecture, the Sorbonne and the Eiffel Tower in the distance (it’s actually a bit closer than it appears in photos, which was a nice surprise). From the other balcony you can see the Sacré Coeur in Montmartre, Tour Saint Jaques, etc., so it’s a good place to stay to help you get your bearings and learn the layout of the city.
Virginie, who takes care of the building, was so sweet, very kind and welcoming upon my arrival and always greeted me with a smile when I had the good fortune to cross her path. I happened to meet David as I was leaving and he was kind enough to help me bring my now ridiculously heavy luggage to the car (lots of great shopping nearby). A true gentleman indeed.
If you can’t tell, I loved the place. :) Highly recommended, especially for first timers, solo travelers, and couples.
