We met our host within 10 minutes of our arrival to the apt. She was very welcoming and accommodating. Since it was very hot when we arrived, our host brought us a fan which helped quite a bit. The apartment was everything we had hoped for, very tastefully decorated, everything worked great, including the internet, which was huge being so far from home and my husband had to work the first three weeks. Some of our fondest memories were having some of our meals on the terrace, we even added some flowers and basil to the planters to make it even more homey and romantic. Our guests raved about the hide a bed, which is usually not common, it was very comfortable. The neighborhood is centrally located with bike rentals, bus, metro within steps. Being in the heart of the city, it was a bit noisy with traffic, people and construction, but it is a good trade off for being close to everything. At the end of our stay, I broke my arm, and the hosts were open to being flexible with our departure date, we appreciated that. I would return again and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a great apartment in the heart of Paris. Merci!
