I have so many wonderful things to say about this flat. It far exceeded our expectations! I cannot recommend it enough!
Apartment:
The photos do not do their lovely apartment justice. It was immaculately clean. There were freshly washed towels available for us. (For our American friends, they DO provide washcloths unlike many other locations) I slept on the sofa and it was extremely comfortable. There are electric blackout shades which allow for a very rest filled sleep. There is a sheet partition between the kitchen and living space which creates two separate rooms. This apartment is great for a single family or two couples traveling together. The sheets smelled like fresh detergent which was both comforting and relaxing. The bathroom has built in mood lighting. It was luxurious and enjoyable!
The building has remnants of the original 1830’s architecture and the staircase up to the apartment was charming. Some with back or leg injuries may consider it to be difficult, but it was no problem at all.
Location:
Though we did not take any public transportation during our stay, we noticed several metro stations and bus stops along our walks. It is a good 15 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower where you can catch any number of your busses to take you around the city. The flat is close enough to the hubbub to feel including in a genuine tourist experience, but is far enough away from the souvenir shops that you are getting to experience French culture. Live like a local for a few days.
Interaction with our host:
I received a 3 page detailed list of recommended shops and restaurants from Vincent several days before our arrival. He arranged the restaurants by location and by price. He was always available and answered any questions we had within minutes.
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT!!!!
