The apartment is well laid out with comfortable furniture and a large, quiet bedroom. It's easily reached by the elevator (or the wide stairway, if you appreciate a little exercise after an excellent meal out). A well equipped kitchen and strong WiFi round out the apartment. Within a 2 block radius of the apartment , you’ll find several cafes, bistros, boulangeries, patisseries and grocery stores. The Tour Maubourg metro station is about 350 meters away and there are several bus stops nearby. The Rue Cler, with its market, is a short walk away.We are very familiar with Paris, and have stayed several times. We generally prefer to rent houses and apartments vs hotels and have done so for more than 30 years throughout Europe. That said, this apartment and Xavier have spoiled us for future travels. Xavier has a list of local stores, restaurants...and an especially good boulangerie. He gave us a thorough explaination of the appliances and features of the apartment and is nearby is needed. This apartment is in the top 5 of all the apartments we've rented and the top, by a far margin of the Paris apartments we've rented.You won't go wrong with this apartment and host.
