The apartment was great. It was larger then I expected.
The bedroom size was great and had a great view. Having the little balcony area was awesome, we spent a while out there every night with a glass of wine. I thought that the traffic noise would be an issue but the windows are newer and block out the sounds very well.
The windows themselves were very cool in the fact that you could open them like a door or you could have them tilt in at the top. So you could have airflow and security at the same time. Having them wide open at night my wife was worried a pigeon might fly in.
We had one day where the Wi-Fi was out which wouldn't have a been a problem but I had to make a call stateside. But they came over in less than a half hour and got it figured out for us. I wasn't expecting a quick response like that.
I think the value for this unit is wonderful considering how nice it is and the location. Having the 1 train directly across the street and the Châtelet station a couple min walk.
