Location, location, location - Fabienne's apartment is in the Marais - our favourite neighbourhood in Paris, overlooks the Seine, has views of Notre Dame, St Paul, and a bit of the Eiffel Tower. Her apartment is elegantly and completely furnished - I would be a bit nervous if renting such a beautiful place. The kitchen is complete, including even furnished Nespresso capsules; there's not only a washer but a dryer, which is unusual in Paris; two bikes are available for the very bike-friendly streets of Paris. The only downsides are traffic noise and not having a/c - if you go in summer you will want the windows open for air, and if you are not used to city noise, it will be loud,. Fabienne's communication is excellent, and she was very accommodating about our leaving our luggage till the evening after checkout.
