My wife and I spent 5 nights at 138 Rue Saint Honore - Unit #4 — over New Year’s and into early January. As others have mentioned, the apartment is newly renovated, clean and safe. Alain the owner was very prompt, polite and patient with my MANY questions. The pros of this apartment are: Location - Prime Central Paris location! We arrived via CDG and took the RER to Chatelet Des Halles (follow the exits for Rue de Rivoli). The walk from the station to the apartment took 10 minutes - approx. .3 miles. The apartment faces directly onto Rue Saint Honore (South) at the intersection on Rue De l’Oratoire - a short block from the Louvre. You can easily walk all over central Paris from this location. Safe - From the street you enter the front door with a pin code, then down a short corridor, through a second door, through a courtyard, through a third door with a second key code (rarely locked), up a few stairs to a fourth door (key lock), into a small spiral stairway. The stairs were very easy to manage and there is good lighting (be sure to locate the switches when it is light). Once at the 4th floor, you enter through a final door into the apartment (same key as the lower door ). Closet Space - There is a generous sized closet (behind the full length mirror), There is a small dresser with 4 drawers below the television, and two light stands - each with 2 small drawers. Value - I think this apartment is a great value considering the price we paid and compared to other airbnb apartments that we considered — and believe me, I researched a LOT! Things to mention Although the apartment is nicely renovated, it looks and feels smaller and more sparse the the photos on the website. Perhaps because we stayed in winter, we did not have the glorious light depicted in the photos. The windows in this unit are small (not floor to ceiling). The reality is this is Paris and 25 meters is not a big space - bigger than most Paris hotels though. The lighting is limited but adequate - 2 lamps on the wall above the bed, 2 wall mounted lamps on the wall across from the bed, and a small hood light above the stove. I found the apartment to be mostly quiet with the exception of usually loud vehicles such as emergency, police and trash. It was January and our windows remained closed. The bed is larger than average (160 cm) with very comfortable with fine linens. There are only two foam pillows. You are only provided with 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels - limited for an extended stay such as ours. Euro appliances can be tricky… I ended up having some trouble with the safe, microwave and coffee maker. We sure to ask your host to explain how to work these before they depart. The...
