Ian s place is very charming. Of course the most beautiful part is the view from the balcony and the washroom, of the tour eiffel. The surrounding streets are also beautiful. It is quite, and safe. The beds are very comfortable and spacious we have a king at home and found the queen to be fine. Ian had three fans in case the rooms got stuffy or warm which was very appreciated. The sofa bed is sturdy and offered a great nights sleep for our daughter. He has a large TV and offers dvd s for you. The kitchen was equipped with paper towels and hand clothes. There s no dishwasher which is fine, but he does need to get a stopper for the sink so you can properly wash the dishes. The tassimo machine in the kitchen was not working but he had other coffee and tea provided which is always a welcome touch. There were three of us but on arrival linens and towels just for two, when I asked if there was another set for my daughter, he sent over the housekeeper to fetch another set. He was always very communicative and could be counted on getting back to us if we had any questions. It is on the 5th floor no elevator which we knew ahead of time and don t mind. The only time is when you bring your luggage up or down the stairs, otherwise, enjoy the opportunity to walk off your baguettes! Great little place for 2-4 people maximum. I would come again
