Noemie was fantastic- extremely clear and rapid with all instructions. The apartment is a little gem in the heart of Paris. Living in a space with such an incredible view and wrap- around balcony is something most Parisians would love, but don't have access to. Rue de Rivoli is a main street- action packed. But as the apt. is on the 5th floor (6th for Americans) the noise was not an issue- and I am a light sleeper. There is a small elevator. Paris was having a heat wave. Most places do not have AC, but Noemi had set up a very efficient portable AC. She had French cookies and wine waiting for us upon arrival. The space was great for my husband and me. There is a pull out bed for a child or 2, but we did not use it. The apt. is well worth the price. Unfortunately, we did not meet Noemi, but she gave us perfect instructions on accessing the apt. She also answered several questions during our stay within minutes. I would def. stay here again.
