The perfect apartment for our family of 5 for a week in Paris! Our conscientious host met us promptly upon our arrival. We were impressed at his details as he flushed every toilet, ran hot water in every sink, showed us exactly how to use the TV - made sure EVERYTHING was in perfect working order before he left us. The apartment is precious, was extremely clean (I am picky) and simply lovely. The living room and kitchen area were comfortable for hanging out, eating meals - a well appointed kitchen, though we did not cook much. Each bedroom was very clean, elegant and minimalist - like a modern hotel room - and though the bedrooms were somewhat small as all are in Europe - the furniture was perfect with built-in closets and lights for reading, so that there was plenty of room for us to unpack and make ourselves at home. Beds were very comfortable (again, I am extremely picky), all bedding was clean, crisp and white just like a 5-star hotel - so very nice at the end of a busy sightseeing day. The two bathrooms were perfect too: extremely clean, nice showers in each, large drawers under each sink to store toiletries, plenty of clean, fresh, white bath towels and hand towels (no wash cloths - I guess they aren't a European thing?), bath mats, came equipped with a hair dryer which was an extra plus. The washer/dryer was very convenient and essential to have - we actually used it more than I thought we would. They provided washing detergent pods and dryer sheets. One trick: it took me a while to figure out you could increase the time on the dryer selection (default was 20 I think, not enough to completely dry items), and once I did that the clothes dried much better; apartment even came with a drying rack which we set up in the living room to dry delicates or finish fully drying a load of towels that I had wanted to wash. During our stay the high temp was 80F and the apartment was very comfortable for sleeping - we opened the windows and there was a nice breeze throughout. The street is quiet and serene, within a block of several bakeries, little grocers, pharmacies, and shops nearby - we bought some groceries and fruit from a grocer, & we ran out each morning to buy fresh pastries from one of the bakeries & would enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the apartment. The 6th Arr. is the place to be, a perfect location! France won the World Cup our first night there & the energy was electric! Merci Mylèee, Léa & Nicolas! We will stay here again!
