Odile's apartment in Paris has a spacious living room with dining area that easily accommodated six of us during meals and socializing. There's a couch/bed that sleeps two.Thru the large windows is a narrow but quite long balcony where you can watch the hustle and bustle of the Parisians going about their day. The two bedrooms each sleep two and are comfortable. The bathroom has a sink and a tub with shower. The toilet is in its own very small room. The kitchen is small but serviceable and contains the best coffee machine that I have ever used. Our host even left coffee pods for us - thanks ! All of this is in a neat 5 story building in which you can walk up to the second floor or take the small elevator.
In front of the building is a Velib bicycle stand where you can rent bikes by the half hour to go anywhere in Paris. This we did frequently and if you return your bike to another Velib stand in less than 30 minutes it's free!
Right under the apartment is a patisserie (bake shop) that has wonderful baguettes, croissants, sweets and sandwiches. Next to that is a cafe with outdoor seating. Three doors down is a Monoprix market that has all the essentials.
Right across the street is the beautiful Monceau park. Adjacent to the park is a Metro (subway) stop only 3 stops from the Charles De Gualle Etoile aka L'Arc De Triomphe. Also, one block away, there is a taxi stand. The location is ideal for easy travel to all the Paris sites. It's about one half mile East of the Arc and one mile North of the Seine. The airport (CDG) is about 40 minutes away by taxi - 60 Euros.
Our host contacted us prior to arrival to give us all necessary instructions and directions.
We did encounter some very hot weather and this is no air conditioning, but thankfully the nights did cool down.
All in all, My family and I highly recommend a stay at Odile's Paris apartment.
