The apartment location is brilliant. It gives you the real flavor of Paris. It is very close to the river Seine, Louvre, Notre Dame cathedral, rue Rivoli. Many restaurants and small shops are near by.
Elisabeth was very helpful and courteous. Check-in was very easy and the apartment was clean. She kindly allowed us to delay our check-out to 1:00 pm to catch our plane. She positively responded to our requests.
However, the annoying issues raised by previous tenants were accurate and reduced our enjoyment. The apartment gets stuffy in warm days. When you open the windows to get some fresh air, the loud street noise gets too much. This is because the apartment is on the first floor, very close to the cars and those passing by in the street. You also loose privacy when you open the windows since you are very close to the people walking on the street.
I hope our great host Elisabeth can address some of the other issues that were raised in the previous reviews and reduced our enjoyment of this nicely located apartment. Lack of a shower curtain in the bathroom creates puddles of waters on the bathroom floor and water splashes all over everything in the bathroom. Adding a curtain or a glass barrier would easily resolve this matter. The WiFi signal is very weak. You can have good access to the WiFi only when you sit one side of the living room couch or standing in the entrance lobby. My son had to make his FaceTime calls standing in the entrance lobby. Elisabeth has kindly offered to solve this problem, it got improved but with limited effectiveness. Changing the WiFi router to another one having a stronger signal would easily resolve this problem. The creaky wood floors also to need maintenance. If you try to go to the bathroom at night, you risk waking others from their sleep with the loud creaks created by your foot steps.
All in all, we thank Elisabeth for trying to help and for her responsiveness and hospitality during our ten day vacation in Paris.
