This apartment was a very good deal in Paris. It has major advantages and several minor drawbacks that potential guests should be aware of:
Advantages:
- The apartment is large, with 4 bedrooms, 4 showers, a living room, a kitchen, and 2 bathrooms (all out of the bedrooms), and easily accommodated our family of 7 adults
-The apartment is well equipped for a comfortable stay of a family, including a nice living room, well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds
- The location is convenient, just by a major metro station, with coffees, supermarkets, bread shops and restaurants around within a walking distance
- The large windows are facing the Place de la Republique with a nice Parisian atmosphere
Drawbacks:
-As the apartment is facing a major square, it is a noisy location day and night, with plenty of ambulance/police sirens, traffic, and so on. In addition, this square is a prime location for demonstrations on various of issues, usually at afternoon time, which can be loud and noisy
-We found that complains of previous guests in reviews that we have read, such as unstable WiFi and hot water running out, were not taken care of, which is disappointing.
