The apartment was perfect for 4 adults and offered great privacy for each couple. The apartment was spacious, and Jay was extremely helpful and communicative. We appreciated having Mr. Oscar as a resource too. The location is the best feature of the apartment if you are a tourist. It is located directly across from the Metro and the Tuileries gardens. Perfect for runners in the morning! Yes, it is in the heart of the city and can be loud at times, but we did not have any trouble sleeping with the windows closed and with fans on. I saw a prior review that mentioned the long dark hallway at night, but there are light switches on the walls to turn on the hallway lights at night. We would absolutely stay here again in the future!
