Home Away from Home

On our recent visit to Paris my mother and I decided that it would be much nicer to rent an appartment for the week instead of being stuck in a hotel. There were four of us women- my 82 year old mother, a young cousin, a family friend and myself. We were so pleased with all the help that Jose gave us when we were looking into the rental of this property. He answered all my many questions and was very prompt with his replies. The appartment was just as described and pictured on the web site, actually we were all very pleasantly surprised at how really lovely it was - there were no pictures of the beautiful ceilings, very nice elevator, and the lovely hard wood floors. The appartment was very comfortable - the beds were great and there was additiional pillows and blankets if we needed them. The living room/dining room was a great place to relax, visit and write in our journals. We did have a bit of trouble with the tv, but we are all technically challenged...The kitchen was fun to cook in - we even had a dinner party for friends! The neighborhood is great - shops are acrossed the street and very easy to get to. There is a Metro stop a block away and bus service around the corner - very easy to get around Paris from the appartment. When we arrived Baltazar (Paris agent) met us and showed us all around the appartment - that was really a nice touch! All in all we loved our little Paris home and are ready to return!
Our only disclaimer would be that it was difficult for my mother to use the shower/bathtub - in France the tub sides are very high and she was very nervous about getting in and out of the tub - maybe some grab bars?? Anyway we would return again to this property and really enjoyed dealing with Baltazar and Jose.
