To all of you who is in a hurry to learn about this place, here is my review in one word - EXCELLENT!!!
To the rest of the people who has time and would like to learn more, here is my review:
Firstly, Jules was wonderful in his communication. It was timely, detailed, helpful and very courteous. Secondly, the description of the place is very accurate - it is very stylish, clean, cozy, light and spacious (especially for the Parisian standards and for the price!), and has all of the conveniences one's heart desires - a queen-size VERY, VERY comfortable bed, a kitchen with two coffee makers and teapot and all the rest of the cooking equipment. The bathroom is very clean, and also has a washing machine which also functions as a dryer, fast WiFi, and work space.
This place is excellent for both short and long stays. All of the conveniences it offers (especially the washing machine, WiFi, and the computer desk with a large monitor) allowed me to travel light and worry-free!
The location of this apartment is also excellent! It is located on a quiet street of a typical Parisian residential neighborhood, which is very popular with the locals for hip boutiques and restaurants (especially on the Rue Des Dames). Just around the corner of the building there is a cozy square with a church St. Marie which rings bells ringing time every hour (which you can also hear from the apartment if your window is open). The square has a delicious bakery, and a generous choice of places to eat and have drinks. There is a small Franprix and a couple of pharmacies just around the corner. In short, one can find everything they need just in the distance of 1-2 small blocks!
The apartment is also very close to the 8th arr., and within a 5-7 minute walk you will find yourself at the famed Levis Market, which offers the very Parisian market street experience.
Let's talk about transportation - this apartment is located within 3-5 walking distance away from the two most convenient for the tourist Metro lines - the purple line 14, which takes you along the right bank of river Seine through Gare St. Lazar, Opera, Palais Royal, Louvre and all the way to Gare de Lyon and Bercy; and the light blue line 7 which can take you to Champs Elysees, and the Lef Bank of the river - Les Invalides, and Montparnasse. Your purple line metro stop will be Pont Cardinet, which is also (across the railroad tracks) is a Train Stop for the direct train which can take you to Versailles!
There are also buses on the intersection of Rue de Rome and Lengendre. Buss 66 will take you to the Opera, where the Airport Bus Roissy takes and deposits travelers to and from CDG Airport. Buses 94 and 28 will take you to the left bank.
But, even with this great transportation I found that many places of attraction are walking distance away. You are 15 min away from Montmartre, Sacre-Coer and Pigalle, 20 min away from Parc Monceau and 25-30 from the Opera and Arc de Triomphe. In short, this apartment is the best deal in Paris!!!
And, of course, much of my gratitude goes to the host! Jules, you are a wonderful host! Thank you for being so wonderful, welcoming and flexible!
