Eric is amazing! We had tickets for the Louvre and asked if we could store our luggage before the check-in time. Not only did he meet us there early, but when we arrived back at the apartment that afternoon our bags were waiting for us inside. But, that is just the beginning of our story. While we were waiting to store our luggage, we realized that my daughter left her camera in the taxi. She is a photographer and this was an expensive camera. We don't speak French, so this could have been a tragic way to end our European vacation. Eric called the taxi company for us and communicated with our driver. This took the better part of his day. He recovered the camera and offered to pick it up for us. We decided to just pay the taxi company to return it to us, but it was incredible that Eric would even offer to pick it up. He went above any expectation of a host and he is a hero in my daughters eyes. It wasn't the camera so much as the pictures on the memory card. Paris was the last stop on a two week tour of England and France. All of her pictures would have been lost without Eric's help.
The apartment it spacious and beautiful. It is within walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. The train station is just steps away making getting anywhere a snap. Remember, the location is in the heart of everything so a little street noise is to be expected. Our family did not find this to be an issue. If you are a light sleeper, you may want to bring ear plugs. My husband used them, but I did not.
