This is a stunning and beautifully designed apartment, very luxurious. The location is very central, and close to trains, a grocery store and some very nice restaurants. Communication is good as well.
However there are a few things to be aware of, as this is an expensive stay considering the compromises:
- other reviewers are right, prostitutes do work in this building and stand outside the door. They’re nice and don’t bother you, but you can hear loud sex happening in other apartments.
- we heard loud construction in the building early in the morning
- the downstairs area is not as comfortable as upstairs. The bed appears to be broken with the mattress having a gap in the middle. If requested, you can receive instructions of how to use the downstairs shower (it’s not intuitive), but be aware that the water does not regulate temperature appropriately. You can only have either freezing or boiling water, regardless of how you adjust it. Also wifi does not work in this room
- the building stairwell is pretty rough, especially compared to the apartment itself. It looks very rundown and there is a door on a separate floor that looks like someone took a hammer to it.
Be aware that there are other central air bnbs in Paris at this price…
