Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Chiara but she must be awesome to have such a wonderful boyfriend. Thomas met us with the key, he was extremely kind and prior to meeting with him we had to communicate back and forth many times via email. He responded within minutes each time. The apartment was VERY zen and clean, had everything we needed, the bed was comfortable, tons of room.
Having a washing machine was AWESOME!
I really appreciate that Chiara has taken a lot of measures to empty out her personal belongings so you feel as though you are in a hotel. The neighborhood had everything you need and luckily it was close to a few subway stations. It is quite a long walk to the center of Paris where all the museums, the river, the Eiffel tower etc are. The only draw back we experienced was that the neighborhood was VERY lively almost every night. I mean REALLY lively. Bring your ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Other than that this is a really awesome place to stay.
