We had an amazing time in David's apartment. It was exactly as depicted and much more. Nice Parisian feel in a quiet street close to the louvre.
Prior to our arrival, David was incredibly responsive to our emails, even providing references of other previous guests. David's friend greeted us and gave us instructions and recommendations upon our arrival. David was very quick to respond to all our texts, including giving us directions to get wine.
The apartment itself is very nice. Large windows with a view of the street and courtyard. There's a ton of space for luggage and a huge dining table to layout a map and plan activities each day. Kitchen has the basics - coffee machine, microwave, etc. Though we had our morning coffee from the patisserie downstairs every morning along with fresh baked goodies. Bed is comfortable and large sectional sofa to chill out in the evenings. We also had fun relaxing at home when we were tired and watched some movies from David's collection. Wifi works great and the apartment is clean. We had no problems whatsoever.
There are a number of restaurants close by as well. Our favorite was a diner looking restaurant called xxx. We enjoyed the mussels, crab, and duck there.
The location is very central so you can walk to the louvre, Tuileries garden, Orangerie, place de la Concorde, orsay, champs élysées, pampediou and many other attractions.
He also made the effort to meet us at the apartment to turn over keys at a time that was convenient to us. Unfortunately, we were stuck in traffic so we didn't meet, but things went as planned.
David, thanks for everything!
