What a gorgeous apartment! Everything is brand new, super clean, full kitchen., very comfortable beds. You can see the top of the Eiffel Tower too! It is very quiet and peaceful in the building but quite noisy from people enjoying nightlife on the street below (didn’t bother us - we enjoyed it) and there is loud noise from street cleaning machines early in morning that woke us up frequently so if you are a light sleeper, this might not be the place for you.
Fortunately it was not too hot when we were there as there is no air conditioning and we tried to buy one at FNAC but they were sold out. The style of windows will not accommodate a window unit anyway, so would need a stand-alone unit. As it is on top floor, that was a concern but we had cool weather.
You also have to pass through a very stinky garbage area on way up to apartment and the stairwell and hallways are very dirty. No one cleaned the carpet in the hallway. Quite a contrast to the sparkling apartment!
Also, we were warned by locals that pickpocketing is common in Les Halles and near Centre Pompidou so something you should be alerted to. Other than that, super convenient location next to metro, short walk to Le Louvre, ile St. Louis, Notre Dame and the Marais.
The building is also pretty on the outside with lots of flowers - feels welcoming to come back to.
The kitchen and bathrooms are generously stocked and plenty of towels. There is a washer and dryer, however it is not easy to use the dryer (Florence was not able ti give directions for that) and it doesn’t work too well. Wrinkles clothes. Very nice to have the washer though and a dishwasher too.
The shower is kind of awkward with low ceilings but it has a tub too, which is a great feature. There are steps between the bedrooms and bathrooms - just an FYI in case of mobility issues.
Florence is lovely and responsive. We had an absolutely wonderful time there!
