This apartment has it all. Gildas welcomed us, showed us around and gave us some good tips. The Eiffel Tower view is fabulous, the bed very comfortable and big, nice espresso machine, the apartment is very beautiful and ginormous for Parisian standards. We were here during a heatwave and the old building with it's thick walls stayed rather comfortable. We for sure were happy with our choice of being a little bit outside the main tourist center ( Metro only 1 block away) in exchange for a very large apartment. Plus hanging out in our neighborhood felt like being part of true Parisian life. Plenty of shops, bistros and restaurants minus the hordes of tourists. Additionally the street is very quiet and the building has a small, but mighty elevator. We would come back here anytime!
