Wonderful stay! Perfect location! Close to many of the sites, yet the area is relatively quiet. We were able to walk to most sites but if you want to take the metro it is very close, including the RER B to/from the airport or the RER C to Versailles which is just a 5min walk. The area feels like a quiet oasis from any crowds but is close to boulangeries and restaurants. You will feel like you’re right in the middle of everything you want to do.
The apartment is well equipped with every necessity and is very clean and well maintained. There’s also an easy to use washing machine/dryer. The main bed and the sofa bed are very comfortable. The apartment is small and it was a little tight for the three of us, but it was very manageable and we would stay here again. It would be perfect for two people. The spiral stairs may sound intimidating but honestly it wasn’t that big of a deal (and two of us are over 60). Plus, once you get there you have amazing views and a wonderful cross breeze. While the area felt very safe, it was reassuring that the building is very secure.
And as a host Alain is wonderful! He was quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our trip, he supplied us with great recommendations, and even helped us with securing a taxi to the airport. And when we arrived, he already had croissants waiting for us, a bottle of wine, soft drinks in the refrigerator and plenty of tea and coffee for the Nespresso maker. We greatly appreciated his hospitality!
