The apartment is in the absolute perfect location- close to shops and activities nearby for walking tours and very close to metro and bus for more ambitious site seeing. Max and Chris were excellent hosts. Max was super responsive and helpful with questions and recommendations prior to the trip and Chris met us at the apartment building, showed us around and explained everything and checked in on us during the trip as well. The neighborhood recommendations from Max were excellent and really helped us get to know the neighborhood. There was also a bottle of wine waiting for us, which we enjoyed on the balcony.
The apartment itself has two balconies, both with great views. The balcony off the bedroom has the Paris skyline with Eiffel Tower- the view is absolutely stunning. There is a separate toilet in the apartment and a tub/shower combo off the bedroom. The washer is in the bathroom in the bedroom and works great, but takes well over an hour and is loud- I recommend using it early, as I used it in the evening time and you can sometimes hear the neighbors, so I felt guilty all night for the loud noise that they were likely hearing from me. The apartment has the bare minimum in terms of furniture so just hanging out in the apartment after exploring the city is not as enjoyable as I would have liked personally. Only two pillows on the bed/ in the apartment, no additional pillows or cushions on the couch, no additional blankets than the comforter and two bath towels only as well. This would be the only downside to the apartment in my opinion as I tend to usually have at least one night during vacations where staying in and lounging is on my agenda. However I would still absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone traveling in Paris as the location, the balconies, and the host's recommendations and responsiveness was absolutely the best.
Great hosts, great views, great location.
