The whole experience was very enjoyable. Alexis sent a document about the apartment before we left home so that we knew exactly what to expect. The apartment itself was the same as the photos so no real surprises. The apartment is in quite an old building so the bathrooms are not very modern and the floorboards creak which was occasionally a problem at night when the people in the apartment on the floor above were moving around late at night. The bathroom attached to the main bedroom is shared with the third bedroom but there is another entirely separate bathroom and a separate toilet down the hall so wasn't really a problem.

The one issue I had was that I arrived at 9 am from the airport but was told that I couldn't check into the apartment until 3 that afternoon. I didn't expect to get very early access but I do think some effort could have been made to clean the apartment so that I could check in a little earlier than the standard time.

Wifi was okay but was very often slow so streaming video, for example, was out of the question but it was okay for emails and basic browsing. TV is okay for French speakers as most of the channels are local with only a few English language channels.

The neighbourhood is fantastic for this type of accommodation. In Avenue Suffren, one block behind the apartment building, there are numerous supermarkets for catering in the apartment and there are multiple good restaurants including French, Italian and Chinese. Of course, the main attraction is the proximity to the Eiffel Tower which provided endless entertainment for my family as it can easily be seen from the sofa in the lounge area.

Overall a comfortable, reasonably well equipped apartment and we would definitely stay here again.
