There are a few things that should be taken into consideration for this apartment.
1-
The flat is on the first floor next to a busy street. The windows are not insulated so it's very noisy.
2-
It is very cold in fall and winter here because the heating system is very inadequate. The host also did not provide enough blankets for two people. So we were freezing and could not go to sleep.
3-
The pictures do not reflect the reality of this apartment. In reality, the flat is much older and shows it. It doesn't get much light so it's very dark and most of the lamps did not work.
4-
The flat was not clean. It had an awkward smell and had lots of ants. The whole apartment is in need of refurbishment. The bedsheets were moist and not very clean. So was the couch.
5-
If you are new to Paris and do not know anyplace the location of the apartment is very good as it's only a 2-3 minute walk away from the Eiffel tower.
6-
The mattress and bed are very bad. I had backache after one night of sleeping here.
FINAL
I am not sure where are the high reviews coming from. Maybe in the past, it was great but I do not recommend it right now in its current shape.
