I've been visiting Paris for over 20 years and I am happy to say this is my new home away from home! Every time I visit Paris this is where I'll hope to stay. The location is perfect whether you want a tourist or locals type of experience. We did both. The five flights of stairs are not a problem when you do not bring every item you own in your suitcase ;) I had to bring some heavy items to work remotely but I wouldn't do that again. Paris has everything you need so if you forget anything there are several stores nearby. For those of you that need your Starbucks fix there are two very close by. The apartment is clean and easy to use. You will feel like you're at home from the access to laundry to the giant soaking tub! There's bath soap and toilet paper-these items are not always provided so after a long flight it was very nice to have these things ready for use. The blow dryer was great and all of my outlet converters worked without issue. Every morning we opened the living room window and hung outside to gauge the temperature- one: by feeling the fresh air and two: by enjoying a little people watching-what were they wearing? The beds were the best I've had in Paris, no joke. Normally the beds are too hard for me as a side sleeper but I didn't have any problems at all. I asked the hosts for the darkest bedroom and she closed the blinds in the skylight which made staying on US time easier. The towel warmers are a cozy gift at the end of a long day. We didn't use the TV but it worked perfectly during the demo. The kitchen has everything you'll need. ALSO Important to note* the wifi was reliable our entire stay! The hosts are thoughtful, warm, and welcoming. They spoke perfect English and made us feel comfortable at every step of the booking, staying, and departing process. We felt like the gratitude went both ways. I recommend this apartment if stairs are something you easily navigate back home. We felt the stairs were just a little extra credit after walking 10+ miles a day. The apartment is located on a busy street with a bright light out in front at night. There were always friendly people around and the building was secure and felt very safe. Enjoy!!!!!
