Very impressed with this apartment. Location, size, comfort and convenience to the Champs Elysee
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Christian's place on Avenue Matignon. There were six of us, including grandmother, so having direct elevator access to the unit was wonderful. We have stayed in apartments in Europe before and know that many apartments in Europe that are on upper floors are only accessible by stairs. Not so in this instance. We were greeted by Christian upon arrival and he was very gracious helping us with our very heavy suitcases and getting us into the apartment. He then spent 30+ minutes with us showing us all the things about the apartment that we needed to know (running the appliances, where the heating switches were, etc). The children were very happy because they connected immediately to the wifi in the apartment. Once settled, Christian then took us on a tour of the area around the apartment, where we learned where the Metro Station was, the grocery, some of his preferred restaurants, etc. Christian was a fantastic host and upon departure, he came to say good-bye and help us get our luggage downstairs as well.
The apartment is in an excellent location, almost next door to the 5-star Hotel Bristol on Avenue Matignon. It is in an 'art district' 4 blocks from the Champs-Elysees, one block from a Metro Station, near an excellent grocery and one block from Rue Saint Honore, where all the designer stores are located in Paris. There is a bus stop literally right outside the apartment building.
The apartment has plenty of space and is classic Parisian. Three bedrooms, one of which had 3 single beds which worked perfectly for our 3 children. It has 2 full bathrooms plus a separate shower facility which allowed everyone to get ready quickly so we could enjoy all that Paris has to offer. Be prepared that the mattress on the bed in the main bedroom is very close to the floor, so a little harder to get out of in the morning. The main living area and dining room are very nice with plenty of space. The apartment has plenty of internal doors which initially make it quite confusing to remember where rooms are. But this was fun and we got used to the layout of the apartment quickly.
We would return to Christian's apartment on Avenue Matignon without hesitation. If your desire is to stay near the Champs-Elysees and you love shopping, convenience and space when you are hanging out in the apartment, this is the place for you. We thank Christian for his gratiousness and helpfulness during our wonderful stay in Paris.
