Very upscale super clean apartment with all the luxuries of a fine hotel (slippers, vanity kit, soap, shampoo, plus hair dryer and flat iron!) Beautiful balcony view of Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel tower off the long balcony with sounds of the city and a larger very quiet balcony overlooking the courtyard on the other side with comfortable deck furniture. Remys friend Florence provides walking tours, lives super close and speaks English which was a bonus. Upon our asking she recommended a fantastic restaurant in walking distance (La Lorraine) oysters were magnificent and honestly the best I have ever had! We had ‘Linner’ there as we call it around 3 o’clock and dining inside was nice with the air conditioning.
The bed was very comfortable (just know it’s Europe and there is no top sheet) the electric room darkening shades throughout the place provided safety and nice room darkening for sleeping.
The weather was getting warmer (High 70s to mid 80s) The cross breeze between the balconies with the doors open was so pleasant. The refrigerator was stocked with beverages to get you started. Open air markets with everything you need across the street, just note that most markets are Closed on Mondays. Every room is equipped with Air conditioning yet only used minimally
for sleeping at night.
The extra room adjacent to the bedroom makes for a perfect luggage/dressing room. There are a couple floor to ceiling mirrors throughout. Washer and dryer was a bonus.
Remy’s wife Sandra set up a taxi ride for us to take to the train station for our last day. Although Florence took us on a ‘dry run’ to the train station by bus the day before showing us ‘rookie Americans’ how to find our train, we ended up taking the taxi as we decided with the early morning departure with luggage was the best route for us to take!
Remy’s place is the place to stay when visiting Paris. Off the beaten path yet close to everything. We look forward to staying here again.
Thank you Remy, Sandra and Florence.
