Vladimir’s place is absolutely amazing! It’s one of the most elegant and comfortable apartments I’ve ever stayed in. I think it really reflects him; from our interactions he seemed like quite the scholar and gentleman, he’s very thoughtful and gracious, and he had a certain joie de vivre about him that one can see in all the myriad wonderful artifacts, art, books, plants, etc. that very tastefully fill his beautiful space. I thought the place was very clean and also extremely functional. The bed is comfortable, the couch was also very comfortable, the dining room and kitchens quite well appointed, etc. Oh and it had a bathtub which is a huge bonus! There was plenty of free cabinet space in the bedroom and the bathroom so one does not have to live out of suitcases. It is also well located close to various types of public transport. The neighborhood is also very cool, very vibrant and on quite a few days there is a food market nearby and on weekends just around the corner there’s a really great ‘marche aux puces’ (flea market). There are two grocery stores nearby, along with plenty of restaurants, cafes, bakeries, etc. Oh and you cannot beat the included free private parking, which is underneath the building and felt very secure! I would stay again in a heartbeat and you should not hesitate to book this wonderful place. Merci beaucoup, Vladimir!
