Our experience with Jerome was one of the highlights of our stay in Paris. He is a kind person and conscientious host. We feel as if we have made a new friend, and we hope to stay in Jerome's apartment on our next visit to Paris.

Jerome's apartment is very well located, within easy walking distance of the golden-domed Invalides, the Eiffel Tower, Musee Branly, the Seine, the Grand Palais (where we saw an outstanding art exhibition), and the Champs Elysees. There are convenient Metro and bus stops nearby.

There's a modern lift inside the secure building. Jerome warned us that walls are not sound-proof, but we were never disturbed by sounds from our neighbors in the building. The place seemed genuinely quiet to us.

The apartment's wifi is fast and reliable. There's also a washer and dryer. Water pressure is excellent and we always had plenty of hot water for showers. The ceilings are very high, so we never felt cramped or confined. There is enough room in the apartment to feel comfortable, and everything we needed for a pleasant stay was provided.

There is a wonderful boulanger only steps from the apartment, so we enjoyed delicious baguettes every morning (as well as their excellent pastries, quiches and sandwiches). Rue Cler (a little pedestrian street recommended by Rick Steves in all his guide books) is literally right around the corner, where there's a well-stocked Franprix (grocery store) across the way from a delightful fruit and vegetable market where we bought freshly-squeezed orange juice every morning. And of course there were sidewalk cafes, chocolates, and yummy foods prepared for take-out at the traiteurs on charming Rue Cler.

We Loved our two week stay at Jerome's apartment!! There is no direct view of the sky from the apartment windows, but the apartment was still bright. The windows are huge, and provide great ventilation. We are already recommending this apartment to all our friends!
