Just do it.
If you are even vaguely thinking of the 16th arr, I can only use this review to begin to explain why you should choose here. Firstly, absolutely everything I needed was within steps - grocery store literally 30 meters away across the road at the next corner, restaurants - post office just up the road...? Even by Paris standards, to be this close to the necessities is impressive (plus a fabulous farmer's market just up the street). Also a massive plus that shouldn't be overlooked is that the apartment is located on a side street, the bliss of less traffic is perfect for those who like to sleep in or are jet lagged!
Physical location aside, it is the culmination of all the little things. Like most, I have spent my fair share of stays in Paris lugging suitcases and groceries up tiny staircases - which means everyone will appreciate that Victor's apartment is on the first floor - with an elevator! Further, as the apartment is the entire first floor, you will also GREATLY appreciate you don't have anyone beside you noise wise.
Interior? Apart from being spotlessly clean, I must say, one of the greatest selling points for me was that the apartment has a bathtub.. but that it also has a separated toilet to bathroom was highly appreciated. I can't think of any amenity that I needed or could have wished for that the apartment didn't have - washing machine, dishwasher (there is a Parisian rarity!), iron and ironing board, great printer, fabulous storage space, very comfortable beds and an incredibly leafy outlook with afternoon light from the 2nd bedroom just made it a home away from home. Ha, I laughed but they even have a salad spinner.... Throw in a spacious dining room table, fabulously large screen TV, comfy sofa and champagne glasses in the cupboard and you are ready to relax. I even appreciated that there were condiments available for use.....
Every stay though ultimately has an almost unquantifiable element to it that can also make or break your experience... and that is how your hosts are. On that level, I can absolutely state that I have never experienced better hosts. As a relatively last minute booking due to being delayed in Paris unexpectedly, everything that could have been a disaster was instantly smoothed by Victor and Indiana - even to the extent of putting themselves out for me. An example was that, whilst I wish my French was better, when it came to a delivery (that I desperately needed) ending up being short shipped, I was frankly floored that Indiana immediately offered to help me, sorted it out and resolved the issue.
Thank you for a superlative stay, it could not have been better.
