We had a really great stay at Avril’s apartment. She was there to meet us and show us around when we arrived. She had a lovely welcome gift of wine, madeleines, and all sorts of useful tips and maps waiting for us. In the bathroom, in addition to fresh soap, toilet paper, and towels, she left a bath bomb and organic shampoo for us to use. It was really above and beyond. My children loved playing with the toys in the kid’s room. They haven’t played with their own toys as much as they played with the ones at this apartment in years. The kitchen was well-equipped. The washer and dryer are a single machine, but if you prefer to hang dry your clothes, there is a collapsible rack available for that. Everything we needed was supplied. The apartment feels spacious and has nice separation of the bedrooms so adults can feel like there is some privacy from the children as well. It is on the fourth floor, so we always felt like we had privacy from the street level and from the possibility of people seeing in. The views from the windows were beautiful. From the front there were full, leafy trees and a view of the park across the street. From the back, the view is out over the expanse of Paris. As our stay was in July and there is not air conditioning in the apartment, we kept the windows open during the day, which kept it perfectly comfortable. At night, we had to shut the ones in front because the road noise below was so loud. We were amazed at just how well they insulated sound though. We left the back windows open all the time because it was very quiet from that side. The back windows didn’t help much with circulation at night, but Avril provided oscillating fans that kept the air moving for the bedrooms, so it was okay. It probably wouldn’t be an issue in cooler months. The apartment is well located. It is 4-5 minutes from the 7 green line, 6ish minutes from the 11 brown line. The building felt very secure. Any time I corresponded with Avril, she was very quick and responsive in her replies. All in all, I would recommend this apartment and would stay here again.
