The overall experience was good: the apartment is located very close to Louvre, 10 minutes walk from the Latin Quarter and there are many cafes and shops in the neighbourhood. The Internet connection is super fast – speed tests showed 380 Mpbs for download and 128 Mbps for upload. There’s a water filter and air conditioning, which is really handy during the hot summers days. The shower is great as well! The apartment also has a coffee maker, a kettle, a washing machine, a toaster, a fridge and a dishwasher.
Some negative parts:
- the air quality in the flat is not very good: there’s an air purifier, but it doesn’t help
- the towel heater doesn’t work
- every morning we were awoken by the builders in the house (around 9 am), once a contractor even knocked on the door in the morning to switch the conditioning system off (they needed to repair something in the building, I guess, - he only spoke French) - so we had to spend our morning (10-12 am) in the heated room with no fresh air. It would be nice if the owners could at least notify about the construction works held in the building.
- the floor is very old (thus bumpy) and I recommend bringing slippers with you
- we got only 2 coffee capsules complementary for 3 days - not that I can’t buy them myself, but I don’t really need all the pack - having 4-5 capsules would be a reasonable and nice amount for 2 people (for 3 days) 🙂
- there’s almost no place to hang the washed clothes (except for the broken heater in the bathroom)
