The Paris Lyrique apartment is in a fantastic location in Paris across from a beautiful park and close to the metro. Walking distance to the Marais, Seine and many wonderful restaurants and bars.
The apartment is a lovely example of classic Parisian interiors with soaring ceilings, period French doors opening on to small balconies from the main living area as well as two of the three bedrooms allowing abundant natural light and marble fireplace surrounds. It is spacious and comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped.
We enjoyed our stay and even cooked a dinner in one evening but there were a couple of items to mention.
The first item is poor draining in the main bathroom. When we arrived, there were only four bath towels and one kitchen towel for two couples to use over five nights. We requested additional towels and bathmats for the bathrooms after arriving. A couple of bathmats and one kitchen towel were delivered sometime that afternoon. We notified the host of the slow draining shower and bath sink in the primary bath, but did not receive a response.
It is good we had the bathmats on hand since the next morning the shower overflowed over the hardwood floors in the bathroom and needed to be sopped up and rung out numerous times to make sure the floors were not damaged. This same thing generally occurred every morning unless we took “navy” showers without running the water throughout our bath. Similarly, the primary bath sink would fill with water and not drain properly and create an unsightly mess.
The second item is the two sofas in the living room are in need of deep cleaning or replacement.
We would love to give Paris Lyrique a five-star review but with these items that did have an impact on our stay, we are generously giving it four stars. Overall, it is situated in a great location, is charming, spacious and provides privacy with beds and baths on opposite sides of the apartment and is a good option for anyone looking for a classic Parisian apartment, and with a few changes (adding plenty of towels and bathmats, fix the draining issue in the shower and sink and clean and/or replace the sofas) this could easily be a 5 star location.
