Lovely apartment! Lives up to the photos. Elegant, pristine. Very quiet building. Excellent location, walkable to most tourist attractions: across street from Louvre; 1.25 mi to Notre Dame; 2.1 mi to Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower; 0.6 mi to Musee D'Orsay.

Three things to note:
1) Elevator only goes to 5th floor -- you have to walk up one flight of stairs with your luggage.
2) The bedroom loft is up a narrow flight of stairs with no handrail. This might not be suitable for the elderly or those with small children. Very romantic for couples.
3) No real neighborhood feel here. Rue de Rivoli is lined with vendors selling trinkets, and there is a McDonald's and Starbucks around the corner. Also an Eric Kayser and a few cafes, but it was overrun with tourists in August.

Host (Alexis) was extremely responsive to communications, and checked in with us during our stay.

Overall, we give this our highest review.
