This apartment is the most perfectly, exquisitely designed space I've ever been in. The amenities are ingeniously placed; for example, a large closet hides behind an elegant door that's an architectural asset to the room. The kitchen is hidden behind a curtain.
The design details are sumptuous. Walls and ceilings are covered in what seems to be felt, accented with perfectly straight trims. Brass bars run the length of each long wall: on the left, they support curtains, on the right, works of art. Books, statuary, marble columns, and lovely furniture complete the setting. As you will see in the listing, it was designed by Jacques Garcia, France's most famous designer.
The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is sufficient, the closet is generous, and the windows are numerous.
The location is terrific, which other guests have noted. We enjoyed walking everywhere, occasionally taking the Pyramides metro about three blocks away. (It's beside a brasserie, Le Royal Opera, which is usually open, has friendly waiters, and offers good food.) This is also an easy location for taxis to reach. In fact, we downloaded the G7 app and easily booked cabs whenever we needed.
Alfred is an outstanding host: clear in all communications, prompt in responding, and flexible when possible. We loved our stay here!
