First of all, I must emphasize that this appartment offers a great value for its money. Next time we hope to stay here is well. Why are we so enthusiastic? Philippe himself was abroad, but his friend Mauricio De Fex was there to wellcome us. He was very friendly and helpful to us. The communication before departure went perfect. Mauricio was very flexible to us regarding arrival time.
The appartment is located at the 23th floor in a 32 floors (very) high building. The building is nice and clean and the residents are friendly and open. The views is great from the living room with open kitchen. Sitting on the balcony you can even see the Eiffel tower. The kitchen is very complete and we were allowed to use things like milk, butter, sugar and herbs that Philippe left either in the fridge or in the kitchen. It's nice that you don't have to buy al these things.
We stayed in the appartment with a party of three, 2 adults and our 14 year old daughter. The size of the appartment is perfect for such a group. The master bedroom was large and comfortable and our daughter slept well in the sofa bed. The bathroom was very nice.
Very nearby, only a couple of minutes walking, there is a great bakery that makes fresh croissants and baguettes from 6.30 am, some supermarkets, bars, restaurants and two metro stations.We were very enthusiastic of the neighborhood where the appartment is situated. Residents come from all over the world. That made us feel like 'Parisiens' for a week and not tourists. It is only a half hour walk to the Notre Dame, but travelling with the metro is convenient for most points of interest. Below the building there is a garage where we could park our car during our stay, which is a blessing in Paris. From the appartment it took less than 10 minutes to leave the city to get on the motorway to Eurodisney. All together that trip only took half an hour!
No negative remarks? Only one. Because of the heat (up to 36 C) we had to open the windows. That was quite noisy because of the traffic but mostly due to construction work in some surrounding buildings.
No reason to choose another appartment than Philippe's! Next time in Paris, we hope to stay there again.
