I arrived Christmas day and Hugo meet me at the apartment and let me in early so it was great, there was coffee, water and juice which was great as the shops were not open. The apartment building is well secured with four sets of courtyard doors to get to the unit. the public areas were clean and well maintained. The apartment had everything one could need for a stay in the 4th and the street is home to moncler, and gucci and givenchy are set to open shortly. The bed was great and the mattress and pillows were great. The kitchenette had everything one could want to be able to make a small breakfast or a light lunch. The bathroom had a great multi type shower head, a heated towel rack, and blow dryer. There is even a washing machine if you need it. There is plenty of closet space, and a Tv, the wifi worked great.
The street noise was minimal especially being in the heart of the city and the windows blocked much of the noise. There is a lot of people on the streets in the close area of the apartment.
The metro station is a few blocks away, a bakery, numerous eating options are also within minutes of the door
The Hotel deville, pompidou center, rue de rosier are all close by, there are also a host of small independent fashion stores that have great items.
My only complaint is the shop directly below the apartment was being gutted and the workmen would be there between 8 and 9 every morning and it was impossible to sleep past this time. I was lucky that it was not every day because of the holidays. But it really was a disappointment as the flat is great in all other aspects. Not sure how long the work will be going on below but looking in the doors they have just started gutting the space.
Thomas was a great host and set up an extra cleaning service during the 10 days i was there so it was a real treat.
Thanks again, maybe i will see you on a future visit to paris
