We arrived for our one week stay in Oliver's apartment, and although we ran late, he and his mother were gracious in greeting us, showing us the amenities and offering advice on where to shop and eat. He even left us a large chocolate Easter chicken (which we devoured over the course of a few days). Everything was just as you see in the photos. Very clean, well maintained comfortable and chic. Of course, having the Eiffel tower in your view and a stones throw away was a great reason to book. We found the street to be very quiet, especially in the evening. Be aware of Chinese tourists that amass across the street around 4:30 to eat at a Chinese restaurant (go figure). But if you need some peace and quiet, the double-pane windows do a great job of shutting out the sound. It never got noisy to the point where we were inconvenienced. Traffic is light on this road, and the tourists are usually a few blocks over on the Champs de Mars. Our stay was wonderful, thanks to Oliver and this great apartment.
