Paris: where holding hands, slow kisses, and quiet whispers are the spoken language of lovers. Dominque's flat takes this language to another level.
The flat was clean, modern, and much larger than most.
While these details are good to know, there are other things that are very helpful when considering this terrific little space:
1.) Dominique is spot on with her punctuality. She had the key waiting for us right at check in. And, since we got there early, it was nice to have a locked storage closet to store our HUGE suitcases (2) while we had a bite to eat.
2.) The flat opens out to the street. A beautiful cobble stone street. Swooon. No stairs at all to get to the entrance. So easy to get in and immediately relax.
3.) Stairs. While no stairs to get into the flat, there are many to get downstairs to the sleeping quarters. Just know that you have to have some nimble knees and a strong man (or woman) to carry your luggage down to the "bedroom".
4.) The bathroom downstairs has a great shower, and clean towels with a TOWEL HEATER! Bonus!!!! Super modern, easy to move around, and perfect for two.
5.) You get a bathroom upstairs too. Yes. Two bathrooms. Two showers. Two towel heaters. Bonus win!
6.) Kitchen is quaint. Fridge. Simple. Love it.
7. ) I'll say, I was skeptical of the rather strange "skylight" situation. Now that I'm home, I'm trying to figure out how to cut a hole in my floor to see downstairs. I need a floor skylight. I'm obsessed. Might be an acquired taste, but I've converted to a lover of squares cut into the floor... the natural light was key and made for a great ambiance. Need I say more?
8.) 15 steps from a sweet little corner cafe. And 20 steps from 20 more... Location. Location. Location. Even cooler? The cute park 50 steps away. The little children playing made for a reminder of the innocence of France. Also, the flat is super easy to have an Uber pick you up.
9.) Lastly, this flat isn't in a touristy area. While not great for some... it's absolutely positioned for a short walk to EVERYTHING touristy and amazing without feeling like you're among 100 Americans all on vacation.
Simply put, you can't find a better option for a perfect stay in Paris!
Simplement Parfait!
