Best location in the City! We loved the neighborhood (7th arrondissement) and it was an easy distance from anything and everything we needed. The views from the 5th floor are lovely - just skimming the tops of other buildings and seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up and sparkling at night is priceless!
The historic building sets the tone for the immersive French stay - but do be aware of the 5 story walk-up. The lovely circuitous steps can be quite a feat at the end of a long day of walking - but Oh! what a reward when you reach the spacious, warm and inviting apartment! The architecture is top notch as Cristina is an award-winning & celebrated Architect, who has poured her passion and expertise into the space. All the details stand out from the lovely brass front door handle to the location of light switches, beauty and consideration abounds! The collection of art and sculpture throughout the flat leaves you feeling reverential - as if wandering through an intimate wing of the Museé d'Orsay instead of comfortably wandering in our slippers with a glass of wine musing at our luck at staying in such a place! By the way - the flat is directly behind said museé...so I can't say enough about the perfection of location.
Cristina was immediately welcoming and helpful with all of our questions and simply a joy to meet. We would love to return again someday - as Paris is... "always a good idea"!
