We had a wonderful stay at Quai d'Orsay! We are a family of 4 including an 8 year old son and a 17 year old daughter. Pascal and Patrice were great to communicate with both before and during our stay. Everything was just as described on airbnb. The design and construction of this apartment is true luxury. The furniture and furnishings are also top notch and very high quality, sofa bed included (it really is as comfortable as a regular bed). Not a detail was missed and the usage of space is creative and unique. There is tremendous storage and closet space. Unlike most Paris apartments that offer A/C units, this has true central air in all rooms, which was a relief after long days sightseeing in July.
Patrice met us upon arrival and reviewed all of the home systems and appliances. We easily cooked dinner our first night upon arriving (there are fresh markets right around the corner). I especially enjoyed the SONOS music system and taking relaxing baths in the large tub with the lighting system illuminating the granite walls.
The location is perfect! We could walk to most of the major sites in Paris and the rest were steps away on the RER and Metro trains. We stayed in summer so we had a beautiful view of lush trees with the Sacre Coeur and the Tuileries Ferris Wheel in the distance and also a partial view of the Seine by the Trocadero. We did not feel that we were in the central Paris except by the location. The windows are virtually soundproof, and we were there on Bastille Day! The building is very secure and the neighbors are quiet and polite.
Thank you Pascal and Patrice, I really hope that we can return in the near future and stay again!
