Authentic. That’s the best word for this charming apartment in an historic building. We arrived on Bastille Day and were in for a treat: unobstructed views of the Eiffel Tower and the most fantastic fireworks and light show we’ve ever seen! This alone makes this apartment a treasure.
Victoria is a responsive and warm host who met us at the building entrance. She is up front about the stairs and this is a consideration: it is seven, spiraling stair flights up! We only brought carry-on sized luggage, thank goodness. It’s 132 steps that will take some effort, but once there the apartment shines.
The local residents of the floor are also warm and lovely people who only enjoyed a Saturday night floor party. Not a big deal, but be aware.
Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay and unequivocally recommend the apartment for an excellent location, view, and comfortable stay (great AC is a must!)
