Biljana's apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood in the 8th arrondissement. Nearby is Le Dome which was great for sitting on the terrasse, sipping on an espresso, taking bites of nougat and watching life pass by. Next to Le Dome is a narrow, intimate street -- rue de levis -- which was full of interesting bakeries and small businesses.

Location is very important to me and I felt like the apartment was a great balance between being accessible to tourist attractions while giving a taste of what a true Parisian's life is like.

As for the apartment, Biljana did a wonderful job of decorating with antique items. The building itself is classic Paris and the accommodations -- WiFi, kitchen, bathroom -- were all good.

Check-in was easy and Biljana was very responsive to any question I had for her. All-in-all an excellent experience.
