The location of this apartment is unbeatable, being right opposite the Louvre and beside Palais Royal metro . Just behind is Place Vendome, rue saint Honore and la Madeleine or it's a short stroll across to the Tuileries gardens and up to Place de la Concorde. A walk through the stunning Louvre courtyard brings you to the river, pont des arts, pont neuf, the ile de la cite , Notre Dame, or further up to the pantheon , or east to the pretty shops and bustle of rue seine and rue de buci and other streets around the 6th/saint germain, maybe as far as the revamped and classy Le bon Marche. Walk up rivoli or hop on the metro to St Paul for a stroll through the Marais and up to place des vosges. You can do a lot in a weekend! (We covered this and more in under 48 hours!)
The apartment is well equipped, clean ( including a spotless fridge!) , 3 excellent showers and kitchenette with coffee machine, kettle and toaster. It is indeed very noisy with traffic and from early morning with people rolling out the stalls in the arcade - but what can you expect in this location? It really is in the heart of Paris. (Bring earplugs!) By the way, the living room sofa bed provides a less private but quieter sleep.
The beds and bedlinen are very comfortable. ( We had one person in each bed,; admittedly they are on the small size for doubles.)Do note there are 3 small double beds in each of the 3 bedrooms and a sofa is in the sitting room. ( Eloise kindly provided the linen for this bed.)
While it is perhaps somewhat lacking in charm ,not being a home but a rental flat, it is very practical and well-equipped accommodation. It is lovely to have breakfast there with friends or family around the table ( and there's a fantastic artisan boulangerie and good local supermarche a few steps away.)
Eloise is a pleasure to deal with - prompt, helpful, friendly and polite. She went out of her way to fit in with our arrival and departure times.
We had a wonderful stay in this apartment and would recommend it.
