Fantastic experience. We just spent a beautiful week in Paris, celebrating my wife's birthday, which was made all the more memorable by Maria's wonderful apartment. The location is perfect, and nothing can compare to lying on the bed and looking out at the Eiffel Tower. The flat is one block from the Charles Michel metro stop, there is a bread/pastry shop just across the street, and dozens of bistros, cafes, restaurants, cheese shops, butcher shops, and grocery stores in the immediate vicinity. The apartment is clean, comfortable and spacious (for a typical Paris flat). Having a washing machine is an added bonus. There's no dryer but there is a drying rack, plus a heated towel rack. Our flight arrived at CDG at six in the morning and we arrived at the flat at 0730, well before check in. We promptly parked ourselves at a nearby cafe until ten am, then went by the flat to drop off our luggage. Entry through the first door is just by a buzzer. Then there is a touch pad to gain entry through the second door, followed by taking the elevator to the 7th floor. There was a family still in the flat, getting ready to leave, and they had no problem with us leaving our luggage. We came back two hours later, as we had arranged with Maria. We met her friend, the other Maria, who was friendly and explained various things about the place and what to do when we checked out. It was an easy process. Paris is one of the world's truly great cities and being able to stay in a great flat right in the middle of that city is an experience we'll never forget. This place was perfect.
