The duplex feels like home. It is fully decorated and furnished. All the necessaries are supplied, and the beds and sofa are perfectly comfortable. The location is very good. Many restaurants at all level of price within easy walking distances, as well as bake shops and grocery stores. Buses and metro are on the main lines. The booklets about paris are worth consulting. We went to the Thai restaurant and the Jacquemart museums recommended in the guide, and were very happy we did. The bathrooms are modern, and showers are both great. The main thing for us was to have a big living room and dining room where we could gather and chat. We had had and more.
