This apartment is in the perfect location - near the Madeleine and Auber metro stations, with lots of attractions (Palais Garnier, Galleries Lafayette, Eglise de Madeliene, Place de Concord), shopping (not just Galleries Lafayette but Printemps and so many shops) and cafes within just a short walk. The apartment is situated around a courtyard, so in the warm weather, we were able to open the windows to cool off, but a fan would have been nice for a few of those nights. The manager, Sabrina, was very helpful and communicated well with us. We were there for 17 nights, so she did come in mid-stay to take out the garbage and change the linens. The area felt safe and we had no problems coming home late (although it does stay light in Paris during June/July until 10. We were disappointed that the dryer was broken, but there was a large drying rack that we used after washing our clothes, so that was a minor inconvenience. The lift is very small, only big enough for a person & luggage, and there are a few stairs to the front entrance, so it is not handicapped accessible for wheelchairs. I really loved this apartment and am contemplating a return visit in 2024.
