This is a great apartment, much better than the pictures, and the price for it is very reasonable.
I stayed for three weeks and loved it—lots of windows and light and lovely views. The kitchen is fully stocked with induction stovetop, oven, big refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and Nespresso coffee maker. The bathroom is wonderful, with plenty of space for a woman’s toiletries and cosmetics and a hairdryer. The bedroom is big and has a great mattress (although I wished for firmer pillows), and there is also a living room, and upstairs nook with a desk for guests, although I used my computer on the table downstairs. The wifi is great. I used Philippe’s radio to continue my attempts to learn more French. The washer and dryer are easy to use and both work very well.
There is a metro very close, also the 87 bus, as well as markets, cafes, bakeries, and rue Cler. You can easily walk to the Petit Palais, Grand Palais, Louvre, and beyond.
Philippe is a wonderful host, very charming, responsive, kind, and generous. He replies to your questions very quickly, both before you arrive and once you are there. Also there is a very nice woman who comes on Friday to clean for no extra charge if you want her. I have never had this wonderful service available in the other apartments I’ve rented.
