This is a beautifully renovated apartment in a phenomenal location for sightseeing in Paris. We were within walking distance of public transit and many major sights. The apartment is on the Seine River - like literally on the river. You open the door to the apartment and step on the bridge to a beautiful view of the city.
The property was clearly some type of store front that was converted into a living space. The renovation was beautifully done. The apartment keeps the charm of an old world Parisian building, with beautiful modern updates and an elegant color scheme. The bedrooms are on separate levels and are very private, so it would be a great place to stay with a small group (though a little too much distance for our young child).
Overall we really enjoyed our stay, but there are several caveats to our experience that are worth sharing. The checkin in process was a little confusing. We didn't realize the property was adjacent to the building where we got the key, which made for a hectic check in experience. This detail might have been explained in the manual that was mentioned in an email, but the link was not live so we couldn’t read it (no one responded to our request to get the manual). The apartment also wasn't ready for us until after 7:00, pm which ended up being fine in our case but would have been a major problem if we were on the first leg of our trip (ie after a red eye flight). As others have mentioned, the apartment needs some deep cleaning, and while it had some essentials, we had to buy dishwasher detergent, paper towels, etc. Finally, given its history as a commercial building, the apartment opens directly to the street, which I wasn’t expecting. There is a curtain to cover the glass door, which provides some privacy, but it still felt to me very exposed. I felt very uncomfortable at first but adjusted after the first few days.
Overall, a lovely space in a primo location. Would recommend with the above caveats.
