This Paris apartment delivered everything it promised. Beautiful in every detail with a location that can't be beat. The balconies overlooking the Palais Royal Garden were the star feature. We walked everywhere, with most outings beginning with a walk through the gardens, the connecting Palais and the adjacent Louvre. Bread, groceries and restaurants were all steps away. We were a couple traveling with a single friend and used the larger downstairs bedroom and upstairs bedroom, leaving the (only slightly) smaller downstairs bedroom free for overnight visits from friends. What else...? Quiet! With the welcome exception of children's laughter, the gardens are a generally quiet place and are closed after 9 pm. Just a lovely, fancy place.
