I had a wonderful stay here in this apartment. My high review has a caveat, which I explain below, so before renting, read all the way through.
I chose this apartment because I wanted to have an old school, classic Parisian living environment: big windows that opened up to bright sun, a beautiful fireplace with big mirror, classic herringbone wood floors and more. This place indeed has that.
I also chose it because it had a fully functional, fairly large for Paris kitchen with lots of cooking equipment. Excellent for dinners and lingering breakfasts while sipping coffee peering out the windows.
It’s in a great neighborhood tucked behind the Eiffel Tower (there is no view other than the very top from the bedroom window). It’s quiet and up high, so there is very little noise. There is no AC, which is quite common in Paris. The space heats up from bright sun mid to late afternoon.
The only challenge I had was the bed. It is a very basic, old school European bed: two slim mattresses organized together on a simple slat frame. It is quite stiff, and the pillows are not well padded nor uniform.
I have slept in a lot of beds in apartments and hotels throughout Europe over 30+ years; it’s been a long time since I have slept on a bed like this. I have back issues, so I had to get creative to sleep through the night. If you do choose this place, I recommend at the very least sleeping on top the duvet and covering with a sheet, and if it’s possible, bringing your own pillows. I informed the management company about this: they are easy to work with, understanding and responsive. They cannot do anything about this; the owner has to decide if he/she wants to make improvements. For this level of accommodation, the bed does not meet the rest of the apartment’s standard.
Also, note that a management company handles this property, and you will have to fill out and return paperwork. I have never had to do this with an Airbnb. It’s a bit tedious, but goes very smoothly once submitted.
Overall, my stay here was really great! I would consider it again, provided the sleeping accommodation was significantly improved.
