Been to Paris several times over the years and run the gamut of places to stay - youth hostel in my 20s, various hotels. This was my first apartment stay, along with my teenage daughter - and the best yet. The photo is accurate; the apartment looks and feels very Parisian but at the same time it's really welcoming. When we arrived there was chilled white wine, orange juice, water, milk and little madeleine cakes - wotcha, Proust. Coffee machine and tea for the whole stay and fresh French bread downstairs every morning - you just help yourself. Lots of info in the booklet about where to find things and how to work everything. Lovely fully functional little kitchen (including washing machine/dryer and dishwasher) which was great. Paris has fabulous places to eat but few of them are cheap, so doing some shopping - there are supermarkets within easy walking distance - and eating in a couple of nights was fun and educational and good for the budget. Beautifully clean throughout, good towels and bed linen. Beds - even the fold-out sofa bed my daughter slept in -were very comfortable. It was the hottest week of the year, but all the windows open - with child locks - so didn't feel the need for air con though it's there though if you want it. You could eat every night just in the square itself- there are several nice places, but it's well worth exploring. Turn right for the Rue Rivoli and shopping with all the chains incuding Monki and Zara: turn left for boutiques, cobbled streets, bookshops and any number of cafes. We went to Maison Sauvage, super cool young place just down Rue Dauphine: the teen loved it. Also liked the vegetarian Paradis Magurite just across the river. We saw the amazing immersive Klimt piece at the new Atelier de Lumiere, wandered to Louvre which is literally minutes away, saw an arts degree show and went to Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower - all easy to reach. But the apartment was so lovely we also enjoyed just hanging out there, with the breeze blowing in and view of the Place Dauphine. The square has very little traffic, although it's not silent: people talk and eat and play petanque late into the evening. It was truly a Parisian experience while feeling completely at home. Highly recommended - would go back again. Tomorrow if I could!
