The apartment was great and the views were even better than we expected. It was so nice to watch the sun go down while sitting on the balcony. The A/C worked well, but we didn't need it even in August -- you get excellent breezes by opening all the windows and letting the air flow through. Bed and sofa were comfortable. Everything was clean and quiet. Washer/Dryer combo worked well, after we translated the controls. Dryer took at least 90 minutes, so plan accordingly (but this is common with this type of machine). There is a brand new elevator in the building, which worked great. The only downside is that you're on the Champs Elysées, which is super touristy and crowded. But we knew that when we booked it, and the apartment more than makes up for it. Plus, there's a metro station just across the street, so you can get to other parts of the city quickly. There's also a Monoprix a few blocks away for picking up groceries. We would definitely stay again.
