Location, location, location! This flat is in the middle of everything, yet the street is pretty tranquil. You can breakfast on the jardin of the Palais-Royale, have an aperitif at one of several cafes, and buy your groceries all within less than a block. Dominique's apartment is more than homey, it expresses the interests of a lively and intelligent family. I made use of the well stocked, well appointed kitchen, and my visiting grand-niece adored the tiger! Beds were comfy, and the temperature was always good. It was reassuring to have Dominique's nephew in his flat across the entryway. All in all, I recommend it to any traveler who loves Paris, enjoys being among artwork and books rather than cold corporate space, and appreciates a comfy, spacious home base.
