The apartment we were given was not exactly as pictured and I think on a lower floor based on the view pictures. Nonetheless, it offered an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower, which literally fills the view from the windows of the living rooms...really spectacular. Having said that the one we stayed in had 3 bedrooms, which we were thankful for since it meant we didn't have to use a sofa bed for one of our 3 kids. Aside from the view, the location is excellent, minutes away from the Metro, the Seine, restaurants, grocery stores, cheese shops, bakeries, patisseries. The guide Alexis provides is a very useful start to finding great local food (the patisserie near the Trocadero is unbelievably good!).

The apartment amenities are a little basic and the apartment shows some character in its age like what I’d guess are the original floors, cupboards, even some old glass in the windows, etc. The beds are just ok but comfortable enough. Bathrooms a little small but again, adequate. The apartment living space very spacious with a large dinning room and living room both of which were nicely furnished with comfortable chairs and a table that can easily sit at least six. I would say it comes down to this: if you want an excellent location with what is simply a breathtaking view that can’t be beaten then consider this property. If you are looking for modern hotel like luxury and don’t care too much about the view then pause for thought. We loved it and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We also used the shuttle service, which can be booked in advance, to pick us up at Gard Du Nord. Our driver was Ryan, who was very courteous and helpful; thanks again Ryan! We were not greeted by Alexis upon arrival, nor given a tour of the apartment, but the concierge at the reception desk was very helpful and friendly.
