This apartment is quite big and spacious (a rarity in Paris) with a very nice kitchen in the very busy center of Paris. It is in a great location to see tourist sites, however it is not the best apartment for remote work. I had several problems with my stay which was 1 month - the apartment above first had extremely noisy construction for the first 15 days and then the neighbors were extremely noisy with running and screaming kids which could be heard through the ceiling. The host did work with me and adjusted my fee for the construction noise (it was quite bad and woke me on several mornings). There were no fans in the apartment and it was quite warm in Paris. While the apartment doesn’t get really hot given its location, shade, and insulation, it is still warm. There is NO AC (very typical for Paris) - the host did provide two very small fans upon request, but these were a bit of a joke. They helped, but a proper fan should be provided for each room. While you can open the window in the smaller bedroom at night (it faces the courtyard), it is not advisable to sleep with the the windows open in the main bedroom due to noise from the street. The apartment faces a pedestrian street which gets extremely noisy, especially at night due to the numerous bars and restaurants - with the windows open it is like being in a very loud restaurant. However, the windows do a great job of cutting out the noise when closed (surprising well). The apartment decor is a bit dated, but the original plaster moulding is still present. The host’s personal items are in the apartment - which at times wasn’t a problem for me as the kitchen was well stocked. Lastly, the place says it is is luxury, but it is just big, cool original elements, functional, with ok furnishings - it is not luxurious.
Overall, the stay ended up being fine after the host adjusted the fees. However, I want to make sure other guests understand what they are getting. If you are sensitive to noise, this is not the place for you. However, if you want a big apartment close to everything, it is quite nice.
