Paris Arrondissement 5

"I travel all over the world regularly and have pretty discriminating tastes and this place was absolutely fantastic. Stayed for a week my my wife and daughter. It's located in an ideal part of Paris, a quick walk to both the Louvre and the Opera and is literally across the street from a Metro station. There is a great Monoprix grocery store (the Target of France they call it) for all your sundries. The flat itself is beautiful. Huge by any standards and very well appointed. Everything was in like-new condition and you truly felt like you were staying at a friend's flat. A posh friend with good taste. Bathrooms were huge and nice, showers amazing, master bedroom really big too. Even though it's in the center of busy Paris it was unbelievable how quiet it was inside. We opened the windows once and the outside street noise was loud. Closed the windows - nothing. We laughed out loud at how well the double-paned windows completely shut out noise. At night you seriously couldn't hear a single thing outside. Amazing. The appliances were all top-tier and the laundry worked excellent. The cable television had several english channels and the internet was reliable and really fast - 100mbit speed and the wireless covered the entire flat. The building itself is very nice and well maintained. The whole time we were there we never saw anyone else coming or going and there were many elevators so you always had instant access unless you wanted to run up the pretty majestic staircase. The owners are Aussies and fantastic with the arrangements from afar. We all agreed that having such a great flat made our trip to Paris all the more fun. I'd highly recommend staying here and couldn't imagine staying anywhere else when I return."
