Negatives:
- Apartment not quite ready (still cleaning) although we arrived 90 minutes after the stated check-in time. These things happen; no worries. The issue was with communication. We followed the instructions for entering the building and retrieving the keys, only to find the key box empty. This required a call, following several call prompts, remaining on hold, and then, after communicating the issue, being told it would be looked into and we’d receive a call back in “two minutes.” No return call. 20 minutes later we got through on a second call, and only then was the issue resolved. We were buzzed in by the cleaning staff and waited in the bedroom for about 15 minutes while she finished cleaning. Better than standing in the entryway with our luggage; we used that time to unpack. Again, we didn’t mind having to wait; what was troubling was the lull in communication.
- W/C is very small. Plus-sized individuals would have difficulty using it. (Not a judgment; just a fact.)
Positives:
- Location: Fabulous. Close to the metro, the bus, cafes, sights and sites…we loved it.
- Bed and bedroom: Very comfortable and very quiet. We slept like babies. Plenty of clothes storage, too.
Bathroom (not w/c): Nice and spacious shower, plenty of hot water, good water pressure. Overall a bit cramped, but fine for two people to share as they get ready to explore the city.
Main Area (l/r, d/r and kitchen): No complaints. Furniture was comfortable, amenities were as expected. Gives a chic vibe.
A/C: It worked very well for our stay. The unit was warm when we arrived, but it cooled within a few hours and remained comfortable throughout our stay. (Unseasonably warm in Paris, so we were most appreciative.)
Verdict: We would stay again.
