We stayed in Pierre's apartment from the 13th of July until the 18th of July. As with all apartments it has it's perks and its drawbacks.

The perks:
The apartment has a great location, it is within walking distance of multiple metro stations, museums and tourist attractions. The Rue Montorgueil is just around the corner and will supply you with a score of restaurants and local shops. Breakfast with a freshly baked French baguette or croissants as well as dinner and drinks within walking distance is definitely one of the great things of this apartment.

The drawbacks:
Though very lovely to see, the apartment is a bit old, this means that there is little sound isolation. As there are also some restaurants in the street itself this means sleeping with the windows open during a hot summer night is not an option until after all the restaurant guests have left the terraces, which in our case was well after midnight every night. The bed in the apartment could definitely use an upgrade, we did not expect hotel quality, but this bed was really quite hard and uncomfortable. With all the food shops around the corner it is disappointing to see that there was little cookware, dishware and no wineglasses at all in the apartment. After all who wouldn’t want to enjoy a good bottle of French wine and a cheese platter at home after a long day out in the town?

Conclusion:
This is a great apartment if you’re comfortable with long days in the city and staying out late for dinner and drinks, if you’re looking for comfort and a good rest after a long day of walking around in the city and it’s many museums you might be better off elsewhere.
