We were expecting to see from the apartment just a portion of the Eiffel Tower. We were pleasantly surprised that we were able to see pretty much the whole thing. This was especially delightful at night, when the tower lit up, and when the tower sparkled like magic champagne. If we weren't so busy walking to all of the very nearby Parisian attractions, we could have spent hours at the apartment just admiring the view. Our hosts were incredibly courteous and informative. Definitely read all of the very detailed house and neighborhood guides. They came in handy throughout our stay. One other note, although located near touristy areas, the apartment and people and shops nearby did not have a touristy feel. Amazing stay!
