The hosts were very nice in allowing me to drop my bags off early so I wouldn't have to drag them around Paris. The location of the apartment was very close to many of the top attractions making it easy to get around. The apartment itself was very nice with updated bathrooms and kitchen appliances. Having stayed several times in Paris, at multiple types of properties, I know how precious space and modern amenities are, and this place had both. Overall, the space was nearly perfect for me and the 4 women in my family who traveled to Paris together. The only complaint I have is that the front door is very difficult to open (and doesn't look at all like a front door). There is no door knob at all so you have to pull very hard on the key as if it is a door knob just to get the door open. The first time I entered took quite a while to get in, and I even thought I might have the wrong key so I sat on the stairs outside the apartment waiting to hear back from the hosts. In order to get the door open, I had to pull on the key so hard I was worried I would break it. I hope this helps anyone else who might find themselves struggling to get into the apartment in the future.
