The apartment is quite large, with an excellent layout for families or two couples, especially if you want to cook and eat at the apartment. The views, balcony, cross-breeze with the large windows on both sides of the apartment are absolutely lovely. The proximity to the gardens is perfect if you are traveling with small children. Dominique and his helper were lovely to interact with.
A few issues we had, not deal-breakers, but worth noting:
-Check-in was a little difficult, requiring us to give a specific time to meet with someone to be let in. We went the wrong way on the metro on the way to the apartment and, of course, it was difficult to convey this in transit, so we ended up keeping Aldric waiting for us for a very long time. Definitely one of the more complicated check-in's that I've done. If you know your timing and way around town, not a big deal.
-The apartment overall was clean, as were linens and towels, but the kitchen, bathroom, and dining room were not to my standard of clean from recent visitors.
-In the bedroom, there was a nice closet for hanging clothes but no shelves or drawers that I could reach (I'm 5'2"), making unpacking slightly challenging. No closet for the second bedroom/living room.
-The construction on the building next door w/loud banging continued while we were there, including workers at eye level to the kitchen window (they were taking down the scaffolding in back when we visited, but the front construction looked like it still had a long way to go).
-Note that the bed in the main room is very, very firm (my arms fell asleep!).
-Many of the award-winning French restaurants and little stores in the vicinity were closed for the Aug holiday (we were there last week of Aug), making the area a little sleepy.
