Let me start by saying Laurence is extremely easy to communicate with and very fast to respond. We loved the light and airy feel of the apartment. The floor to ceiling windows overlooking the green space was a treat- as were the black out curtains which truly kept light out when we were sleeping (in!). The apartment is incredibly clean and well maintained, as is the building it is in. There were some toys for our daughter to play with - which was a plus for us since we wanted to pack light and the extra little bedroom was perfect for our needs. The apartment is a few doors down from a supermarket. It is also down the block from a nice cafe (Lamartine) which was open later than many restaurants and had very friendly wait staff (a plus given the time change meant we were eating late and with a toddler). Also down the block is a cute playground which is perfect if weather permits. The apartment is a very short walk (5min) to the 9 metro and an RER station - it is close to the Trocadero with stunning views of the Eiffel Tower. Overall the 16th is a very safe and pleasant neighborhood we enjoy staying in and Laurence's apartment was perfect for our trip.
