Our stay at Olivier's apartment was brilliant. It had all the facilities we needed, it was close to the Metro station, handy for shops and you could see the Eiffel Tower from the balcony! The apartment is set in a nice area. We felt safe walking to and from there in the evenings. We used the pool and sauna which is located at the top of the building. We went in the pool at sunset and watched the sun go down over the horizon. The apartment was very clean and was just what we needed. The bed is a pull out and it creaks a bit every time you roll over, but nevertheless it was very comfy. There was a coffee machine which was nice to use in the mornings. The bathroom was spacious and had all amenities at our disposable. We used the 2 mobile phones to full use and they were helpful to use tether the mobile date to allow us to connect our own mobiles to the internet. This allowed us to use maps and find interest points around the city. Another great selling point, (which was one of the reasons we chose this apartment) was the free use of the bikes. This was our main use of transport for the stay as it was free and it was a great way to explore the city. Yes, you have to stop off every 30 minutes at a the bike stations to reload but it didn't bother us.
Olivier catered to all our needs prior to our stay, he was responsive when we contacted him. He recommended places for us to visit and upon request booked us into one of his favourite restaurants for the night of our arrival called L’avant Gout which had the most delicious food, but was a reasonable price.
As my friend and I were going to celebrate my 21st birthday there, Olivier had a bottle of champagne put in the fridge for us which we enjoyed on the balcony on our first night.
I would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone going on a trip to Paris. Thank's Olivier for being a great host and letting us use the amazing apartment you have!!
