So, this was a great deal. Excellent location - close to all the museums, excellent restaurants and tons of shopping. Incredibly safe area as well as extra safe locked alley, and very quiet. It should be clear that there is no view - but that is the best benefit. There are no stairs to carry luggage up. Any view you want in Paris just step out of the alley and you’re in the center of everything. Grocery around the corner. Sushi, Thai, French,bakeries, Italian.
Gilian was immensely helpful and patient about check in and all our questions. For those not familiar with Europe and laundry - most places don’t have dryers, but Gilian has a dehumidifier in the laundry that works much better than drying anywhere else we stayed in Europe. The apartment is tight, remember you are staying in an expensive crowded city - this place is worth it.
