The apartment was spacious and attractive, and as good as shown in the listing (no surprises). It was nice to lounge there before spending long days sight-seeing. The beds were comfortable, and it was great to have two bathrooms. The kitchen was really fully equipped (though we only made coffee). The apartment was quiet and peaceful, as was the street. The elevator was small, but a terrific convenience, especially for anyone with suitcases or young kids! We loved being able to glide up after a long day of sightseeing.
There were plenty of great cafés and restaurants in the area, and Karim’s guide had useful suggestions. We really enjoyed strolling through interesting neighborhoods on our way to the Musée d’Orsay, Grand Palais, etc. These were in walking distance for good walkers. We departed very early in the morning and were able to get two taxis at the stand on the Place de la République. It’s also very convenient to bus, metro, and trains.
Finally, Karim was a great host, very responsive and polite to all questions. We would definitely stay in his place again.
