Location, location, location!!! When I came across Charlotte's apartment when searching and I saw the picture from her balcony, I knew I had to treat my wife to staying there. And we were definitely not disappointed! Actually, pictures can't do justice to actually being there...when my wife first walked into the apartment and saw the Eiffel Tower at what seemed to be arms length, she actually got a little emotional. Yes, it is a true studio apartment but it is laid out as well as can be. And the pull-out bed was actually very comfortable. If you plan on eating in, there is a grocery store literally across the street from the back gate. Next time we are in Paris, we will headed back to Charlotte's place.
