Summary: A 6th floor walk-up, beautiful apartment with amazing views, very central, lots of restaurants within 5 min walk. However, we did not feel it was worth USD$320/night. More details below:
Let's start with the good stuff:
Really beautifully done apartment, very chic. Exposed beams, bed is in a cool loft (very tight spiral staircase), has washer/dryer in apartment (ask for directions on how to use). Great blue-tooth speaker (a must nowadays!)
Amazing view of the Seine and 1st Arr. (including Le Marais) and 11th Arr. from small balcony, and beautiful (partial view) of Notre Dame Cathedral and of Ile de Cite/Ile de France from kitchen and bathroom windows.
Also, host was readily available and prompt when we had questions. When the cleaning person accidentally barged in when we were still in bed, the host offered us another night for free.
However, a few caveats:
1) this is a 6th floor walk-up. We did not expect this, as this was not listed in description (I checked description again before writing review)
2) despite the nice view, great apt, central location, we did not feel it was worth USD$320/night, as it is a 6th floor walk-up, did not have breakfast provided, and it did not feel luxurious (which is what we expected for that price)
3) there is no front desk/doorperson (even though apt description lists one) check-in directions were not perfectly clear, but we figured it out eventually. There is definitely room for improvement. Ask for clear directions before
4) there is a washer/dryer in apartment, but we could not figure out how to properly use it, so ask for clear directions on using it
5) the fireplace is for candles only. We were hoping to actually use it for a romantic evening in front of the fireplace
