An absolute gem. I thought the location was great. Right next to a metro station which we used a lot. We walked 20 min to The Louvre. For Americans that had already been traveling a while, having McDonalds, Chipotle, KFC, and Starbucks right below us was a plus. The street itself had lots of activities. Lots of restaurants, stores, and places for groceries within a minute. Hard Rock is less than a minute away. The Grevin museum is right that and is also a good landmark for taxi or tuk tuk drivers.
Despite the lively restaurants on the street, the apartment was quiet as it overlooks a courtyard. Right next to Starbucks, you go in a main door using a code to get to the courtyard. Then, you go into your specific building using a code. The apartment is on the 4th floor (5th if you are American) and there is a lift. Key gets you into the apartment.
The instructions provided were in excellent detail, including pictures. There is a book with instructions for everything as well as other useful numbers and info.
We were offered the opportunity to leave our luggage at the offices not too far from the apartment. Turns out, the apartment was ready early which was a huge plus.
The apartment itself was very roomy and accomodated 5 of us easily. There are 3 bedrooms. Two had attached bathrooms (shower/sink). There was another standalone bathroom and two toilettes. Air conditioning was a requirement for us and it worked very well in the apartment. You enter the apartment into the living and dining area. There is a toilette there. Lot's of space with living room furniture, dining room furniture, and a TV (the only TV). You then go through a narrow (but spacious) kitchen and then all the remaining rooms are off the hallway which winds around. Almost like a maze but there is only one way to go.
The kitchen was well stocked with amenities and had a washer/dryer, dish washer, etc.
All in all, it was an amazing experience and this apartment helped enhance the experience.
