We believe that it is better for clients to know what to expect up front. We have therefore put pictures of all apartments and their surrounding areas on the website, and there are no hidden charges - no charge for electricity, and no charge for the phone. However, to make a long distance, or international call, you will need a calling card, either an ATT card, or a French telephone card that you can buy here in any of the telephone shops. Naturally there is an assortment of pots and pans, as well as kitchen utensils. Yes, most apartments have queen size beds with sheets and pillow cases, and a double sleeper sofa with sheets and pillow cases, as well as sufficient blankets.
All bathrooms come with ample towels for the number of people officially staying in the apartment.
All of our apartments are selected for their accessibility for people who come to town to take advantage of the city. Every apartment is at most 5 minutes from Metro Stations, RER stations, and bus stops. The apartments are all located in the best locations available in Paris, which implies areas with a great deal of activity. However, the apartments have all been chosen that either face courtyards, or side-streets that are virtually noise free. For the first question, there are good restaurants everywhere in Paris.
