This apartment is simply stunning and in a wonderful location to explore Paris. Within walking distance of most of the major attractions, including the shops, and on side streets that have many food and gelato options.
The beds were extremely comfortable. The apartment easily sleeps two couples and two children. One of the most important features for us was air conditioning in every single room as well as a lift. Both of these are extremely rare in Paris and made our stay so much more pleasant.
My hesitation on the full five stars was around amenities. The kitchen is well appointed with utensils, but absolutely nothing other than salt. Not even coffee or tea. The toilet paper provided was one roll per bathroom, and when I asked for more, they dropped off something so cheap I thought I was living back in Asia. And for this price, I would’ve expected some lovely bathroom supplies rather than cheap basics. Perhaps these are just my expectations of this price point, which I rarely splurge for, but I will admit that it was disappointing. For a high -end Paris experience, these would have been very easy things to consider. Also, the expectation of washing all the dishes and putting them away as well as the garbage is very high considering the price point and the cleaning bill. I don’t know how this became the new normal.
The neighbourhood is a little bit noisy at night, but the blinds are decent for light control. And the view out the window to the beautiful side street makes the noise worth it. The master bedroom doesn’t have USB plug, so bring an adaptor and just put in some pink or brown noise on YouTube, turn it up to max, and enjoy your sleep.
