Pros:
- Very spacious
- Beautiful view. You can see the top of the Eiffel Tower. :-)
- Immaculately clean
- Very fast Wifi. (100Mbs down / 15Mbs up)
- Great location. Very close to grocery store, street market, Denfert Rochereau Metro, and RER B.
- Really nice shower
- Soft comfortable beds
- Nice living room with comfy sofas
- Safe setting
- Well appointed kitchen in case you wish to prepare your own meals
- Host is very friendly, helpful, and responsive
- Host arranged to have someone there when my elderly father arrived to help with his luggage. Very kind and thoughtful. We are grateful!
Cons
- 4th floor and no elevator. If you're American, you may think that this means three flights of stairs. In Europe, however, the bottom floor is "zero." So you must climb 4 flights of stairs. If your are elderly or infirm, it will be a challenge.
- Noisy floorboards. In the hall outside the bedrooms, the boards aren't just a little creaky; they are loud. If your companions are light sleepers, I would encourage them to have some ear plugs. If someone gets up to use the restroom in the middle of the night, it's nearly impossible to do so quietly.
Worth Noting
- There is an air conditioner, but it's not central. It is located in the kitchen / living room area. If the weather is very hot, this may not be adequate to cool the bedrooms if you're the kind of person who needs it to be really cool when you sleep.
- The kitchen counters are wood. You can't leave any drops of water on them or they will leave a stain. Be ready with a towel to dry it all off all the time.
This is a beautiful apartment. We very much enjoyed our stay here and we would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.
