Overall we were happy with the apartment. Here are our Pros & Cons based on our experience in December 2021:
Pros:
- It is like a service apartment, well equipped for your stay. You have all the necessary to cook, you are provided shower gel, shampoo, towels…
- The bed is comfortable and the sofa can be used as extra bed
- The location is great, near the Luxembourg RER, with plenty of restaurants around, bakeries and supermarkets near by too. If you are a fan of Emily in Paris, you are a cornerstone away from the place it was filmed
- There is a very small lift to bring you upstairs, but something useful in old parisian buildings
Cons:
- The apartment is cold, even using the central heating system. Fortunately they give an electric heater that we used in the bedroom, to keep us warm
- The bathroom has a weird smell, not the most pleasant when you want to take your shower
- We didn’t have hot water on our last day (6th day of our stay) and we could not take our shower. This is despite the fact we used hot water carefully everyday to ensure at night, the water heater could replenish. However it seems the water heater replenishes only once the tank is fully empty. Which (unfortunately) happened to us on our last day
- As usual, the apartment is smaller than what you see in the pictures. It fits for 2 people max. We had difficulties to put our 3 large luggages. Also the lift is old, and we got stuck in there for 30 min.
