We stayed at the flat for 10 days from July 9-19 2022.
Pros: There was plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 kids. The location was fantastic - close to Le Louvre, the metro and a taxi stand, plus lots of small restaurants within walking distance. The apartment felt secure and safe. The elevator was tiny, but useful for transporting our stroller up and down. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were linen, which was extra luxurious. There was plenty of counter space in the bathrooms, and the shower was hot and pressured. Check-in was a breeze with Nazeem.
Cons: Overall, the flat needs a deep-clean. There is a lot of old carpeting and upholstery that collect dust, and several of us started sneezing when we arrived. The place also needs a renovation. For example, the bathroom mirror was cracked, the doorknob fell off, and the master bathroom door was so warped that it wouldn’t shut.
We happened to be in Paris during a heatwave and the flat has no air con. Many residential housing in Paris do not have AC, so next time I would either stay in a hotel during the summer, or travel during different months. The heat was unbearable, even with the 2 fans provided. We had to keep the windows open at night for airflow, but that meant listening to all the noise on the street/in the courtyard. There is a piano teacher in the building, and the ground floor was going through renovations, so we’d hear drills starting at 7am. We ended up checking into a hotel on our last night for better sleep. These things aren’t the fault of the owner, but ought to be considered when booking.
