Olivier's place gave us quick and easy access to the main tourist attractions in Paris. It was a 10-15min walk to the Arc, 15-20min walk to the Eiffel tower, 2 min walk to the metro 6(goes right to the Catacombs), 2 min walk to a place with many app bike rentals, and maybe a 45-60min walk to the Louvre. There were lots of Cafe's to eat at, and grocery stores and pharmacies were all within a 10min walk
The apartment had a secure access, was on the second floor. The two flights of stairs were no problem. The key fab, and key always worked. Coming from a North American perspective, the apartment was a bit small, but I think it was a bigger size than most we looked at. Keeping in mind that this is historic downtown Paris, so it is a good size! It was fully equip with anything you would need, bedding, towels, kitchen ware, laundry needs, ect. We didn't feel like we were in need of anything else, it was a very clean apartment, no smells or fragrances(except for the towels that were done in a detergent). We didn't use the washing/drying machine, but it was very nice to have the option in house! The wifi worked without flaw. The lighting was good, the windows opened into a small courtyard. Once you step out the front door to the main street you can look left to see the Eiffel tower. We walked in this neighborhood at night and felt quite safe. Would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Paris! Owner was easy to contact. Thank you Olivier for a wonderful stay!
