Rene’s apartment was HUGE and the space was definitely appreciated. Paris is an old city and most apartments and hotels have tiny rooms. The apartment is in a bustling area and getting to places is quite convenient if you don’t mind walking. Unfortunately we had to wait for 45 minutes in the lobby of the building to check in as there was miscommunication about the fact that the correspondent who liaised with me on behalf of Rene was not the person meeting us. It was very hard to get in touch with the owner or the initial contact person. The neighbours downstairs are quite fussy as they complained about our 2.5 year old daughter who was playing around the apartment. We were only in the apartment at nights and only one evening and it’s a little challenging to stop a young child from having fun within reason. Their apartment was lacking amenities like dishwashing powder/tablets, toilet rolls and garbage bags which was inconvenient and made it hard for us to tidy up and keep the apartment in a good condition, like we always do. We found our daughter playing with broken glass on the carpet, which we cleaned up. Travellers with kids need to be aware that this is not a child-friendly apartment. The elevator was not working for 3 days so we had to walk up and down the stairs whenever we needed to leave the apartment which was hard, especially on the last day of check out where we needed to make several trips up and down 3 floors to get our heavy luggage and pram to the ground floor. Rene was good with his communication though and tried to help us in every possible way. Paris is a fantastic city and we will visit again for sure!
