This place is in a very old building (in a good way if you love history and being local). It’s located right next to the Les Halles-Châtelet metro station and around the corner from the Forum at Les Halles. It’s at the top of the building (5th floor) but there is a tiny elevator (as is usual in these old buildings)—think one person and one rolling suitcase small. It is NOT ideal for small children or folks who cannot climb stairs, and Eric is clear about that...regardless we had a four year old and six month old and managed using the elevator to lift the buggy and the baby/kiddo.
Flat itself is as advertised. Bed upstairs in loft and pullout downstairs were comfortable. It was really rainy in Paris when we were here and the air in the flat was a bit stale and wet...probably the old building and not condition of cleaning.
Kitchen is not well stocked with cookware (we always travel with a really good wine key, good knife and a utility small thongs/spatula set anyway) but has good stock of appliances and washer and dryer is great. The age of the building means that when you run the washer/dryer it creates quite a bit of noise downstairs as we found out via an angry neighbor as we turned on a dry cycle (note: all euro washer/dryer combos are low electricity/energy use which means the cycles are very long...2-3 hours to wash, except on 30 min express and 3 hours to dry) to complete overnight. We felt bad but were in a bind to get some of the kids clothes dry in time to pack.
Eric is excellent communicator and was really flexible with us and gave really great directions for checking in and out.
All in all, without the kiddos this place would be a great central flat to come back to spending all day out in the city, and to start each day with a cup of coffee at home. There are a ton of great restaurants and cafes and even one that serves my husband’s super healthy diet.
