This apartment is worth every penny you spend. Check-in was amazing...they arranged airport transportation so that we didn't have to worry about finding our own ride to the flat.. It was so convenient and relaxing to have someone wait at the airport for us. upon arrival to the apartment, Julien and Pierre greeted us so cheerfully, and showed us how to work every appliance and gave plenty of local recommendations for restaurants, bakeries, flea markets, etc. Then they presented us with the best special touch....fresh bread, wine, fruit and snacks That was just what we needed after a long night of flying. The apartment is very secure, and not once did we feel the least bit unsafe. There are many grocery stores within a 2 minute walk, and Julien and Pierre even provide you with a rolling grocery bag. Can't get much better than that. The washer and dryer are such a great amenity......we were able to take just a few clothes so that we could load our suitcases with French souvenirs! The Metro station is a short walk away, and along the route, there are many bistros, shops, and pharmacies.. There is a nice, bright open and airy feeling.....the large windows all open for a nice breeze and great views of the street. But don't worry about the street lights at night. There is a roller shade that lowers an exterior metal awning so it can be as dark inside as you would like for night time rest. Please consider this when you are planning your trip to Paris. My entire party would highly recommend this place.
One tip for your visit (and not related to the apartment at all): We were stopped by Metro police while exiting. They do this periodically at different Metro stops to ensure that passengers are carrying a valid ticket. Indeed, our ticket was valid, and we were happy to present it to the authorities . Unfortunatly, we were slapped with a 35Euro fine because we had not written our name and dates on the 5 day Metro pass. So please, to avoid this fine (for each person), please write your name and dates on any Metro passes that you purchase.
