Even though Viviana was unable to meet us, the instructions to enter were very easy to follow. The 6 flights were not as daunting as we imagined, even carrying our massive suitcases up. The apartment was clean, beautiful and a perfect retreat from the lively neighbourhood below. The location is very central but not touristy, just a 5 min walk to the metro and 15 minutes to the Louvre and Seine!! There are adorable cafes metres away and plenty of supermarkets. However, one of the neighbours yelled at my sister (who is a child) for being "too loud" when she had to carry her suitcase down the stairs for an early train at 6 am. This made her my sister quite upset and was probably the only downside to this gorgeous apartment. The shower curtain was also mouldy and needs replacing and the Laundromat cost us 12 euro for a load so it would be great if the washing machine could be repaired. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. Thanks Viviana :)
