Everything was as wonderful as the other reviews would lead one to believe. Anne helped us drop off our luggage early in the day so we could enjoy sightseeing without dragging suitcases around, and the elevator made it so easy to get our huge bags up to the first floor. Anne greeted us with champagne, and every amenity that one could need she has thoughtfully provided. Her apartment is huge, quiet, perfectly located near Metro, and charming. She has a great guidebook that gives you a history of the building and a lot details about nearby things to do and see. I was torn between wanting to live in the apartment like a Parisienne or be out and about like a tourist! I hope I can come back some day because there is so much to see and do.
