It was a privilege to stay in this beautiful and elegant apartment. The apartment is in a 100- year old building, in a quiet corner off a square of these buildings. The neighborhood just off the square also has many of these buildings but is lively. The metro is very close.
The apartment is spacious, actually enormous. I loved the fireplaces, the wood flooring, the beautiful moldings on the ceiling, the lovely antique furniture. The building has mosaic floors with a pretty pattern on the common areas.
The apartment has the whole top 5th floor, with a good elevator to reach it.
The kitchen is well stocked, there were map and guide books to help us, and an abundance of anything we might need. Francois was a perfect host and told us about the home and history of this area of Paris. He was happy to help with planning of sightseeing and activities. He played just a bit on the antique grand piano with ornate wood marquetry; I wish I'd been able to persuade him to play more!
