This apartment, while only one room, is spacious and comfortable. The finishes and furnishings are very contemporary, with a small beautiful kitchen area and the bathroom is magazine photo worthy! The owner was very responsive. The only thing missing were the very basic necessities such a paper towels, etc, in order to help keep the place as pristine as the owner obviously keeps it. The bed was very firm, but the sheets and pillows were just right! Unlike a hotel room, I do like to be able to "live in" rather than just sleep there and the kitchen was well stocked, even though there is no oven, there is a 4 burner cooktop and microwave and small refrigerator and dishwasher. Contrary to some of the previous reviews, there is english language TV stations, 233-240, you just have to search for them. The location was on a private, very quaint street, that is totally removed from the hustle and bustle of Rue Faubourg St. Honore right outside the entrance gate that has plenty of restaurants and stores. At the gate turn left and walk two blocks to the large Monoprix on Ternes which has a great selection of food and wine, the Maison du Pou across the street from Monoprix has top end gourmet take out food and the open air market is right there too. Going the other way- turning right outside the gate is a wine shop, chocolate shop, a tea shop and the organic food market that faces Rue Daru. All the best there is. The taxi stand is literally across the street. The metro is also across the street in the Ternes circle. An easy walk to Arc de Triumph, we walked to the Musee D'Orsay from the apartment, walked down Haussman to Printemps shopping area also, lovely strolling down St. Honore past the President's palace, and basically all over Paris within a mile or two, easy metro ride back. Closest station is on the 2 line, Ternes exit, or a few blocks to the Line 1 Charles DeGualle Etoile. Taxi to and from CDG is set 50euros if you walk to the taxi stand. Uber also easy to use, including your same app and cell phone info from the states, you do not need to change. This neighborhood has more local people, is just removed enough from the Champs area with all the tourists, and is not as crowed as the Marais gets by far. Highly recommend this apartment if size is not an issue - see the photos as accurate-safe neighborhood, lovely experience.
