The apartment and location is as listed. We loved the neighbourhood and the availability of Marks & Spencer, Monoprix and Carrefour. 2 minutes walk to Grands Boulevards metro. Walking distance to many cafes and eatries and fast food restaurants. Food was never an issue. Shopping at Galleries Lafayette was only 3 metro stations away along with other brands. Eiffel Tower, Louvre and many other attractions are also nearby. We also stayed in an apartment in Switzerland prior to our arrival in Paris, the owner had no shoes policy and it worked very well for us. Pascal may want to consider no shoes policy as it would be easier him and guests to maintain the floor. The apartment was well equipped but maintenance could be improved. The elevator as feedback from another guest is indeed small and could only fit 1 person and a large suitcase. We were glad that there is at least an elevator to 5th floor and carry it 1 storey up to the apartment wasn't a big issue. Dino carried our smaller suitcase (21kg) up 6 floors! And I got a shock but am really thankful to him. Overall, we were happy with the apartment as it felt like home. I was able to make breakfast at wee hours everyday due to our jet lag. Laundry was important too as we were traveling as party of 5 and had to pack light. Thank you Pascal and Dino for the great stay.
