We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is located steps away from the Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Élysées and the metro/RER. Arriving from the airport, there is one simple change on the RER and you are there. There are at least two nearby metro stations which directly take you to the prime spots in Paris without having to change lines. The neighborhood is safe. It's full of internationally known retailers, there are bakeries, cafes, restaurants, fast food, fruit stands and grocery stores (I recommend Monoprix) all within a two to five minute walk. Michaël is a great host. The apartment is a little bit dated - BUT, are you really in Paris to spend time in an apartment or to go out and explore. The apartment has many large windows which allows for a nice breeze and cools off the apartment nicely. The shower has strong water flow with a waterfall shower or handheld water spray. The kitchen is nicely sized with an induction stovetop and oven. The apartment is extremely quiet 24/7. I felt at times like I was somewhere in the country. Once you step out of the building onto the street, the great energy of Paris overtakes you. I would gladly stay here again. Thank you Michaël for helping to make our trip to Paris a great one!
