We travelled for 8 nights with two young children and did not find the apartment to be suitable for such. It is not possible to access the front door of the property by taxi when being dropped off or picked up. Instead you have to take an elevator, walk maybe 50 metres to access the front door. From there it’s another lift, but one of the lifts was broken and so had to go to floor above and then walk down one flight to get to apartment. The stair case is spiral and very narrow. This was difficult and a hassle with two small children and heavy luggage. Even without the luggage if your got a baby stroller this was not easy or handy.
The apartment inside is spacious for Paris but not overly comfortable. The pillows were of very poor quality, lumpy and flat. We had an issue with the heating. For the first few days it felt very cold in the bedrooms, and then for the second half of the week very hot. Not sure what happened. You can’t control the heating yourself, it’s done centrally for the whole building.
I felt the windows in the apartment were unsafe if travelling with small children. They can easily be pulled open and it’s not possible to lock them. The bottom of the bath is not in good condition and is flaking. My three year old scratched herself on this.
We had some issues on departure which were accidental but found the host to be aggressive and unpleasant in her dealings. My three year old had a small nose bleed on our last night in her sleep causing a mark to sheets and mattress. Some baby food spilt on floor which was wiped up but caused some residual mark on floor which I had thought would come up easily with proper floor cleaner and a mop as was only food spillage as again was superficial. Apology was certainly not accepted by the host who requested £300.
