This apartment is absolutely fantastic. Much larger than the average Paris flat and the location can’t be beat if you want to be in the middle of the city. The only trade-off - Rue de Rivoli can be a bit noisy with the windows open, even somewhat late at night. If you want a super-quiet flat away from tourist areas this is probably not the best choice. But we loved it. As advertised, the Tuileries Gardens are just across the street, Metro stop is within 30 meters from the front door and there are plenty of places to eat (including a small grocery store) within a short walk. Jay was an extremely attentive and helpful host. The one or two messages we sent were returned within minutes. Would certainly highly recommend Jay’s lovely apartment to others.
