I would recommend this apartment despite mixed feelings. First, my cautions:
My wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon while her parents and children joined us in Paris for a few days. The site says “easy check-in” and the “host will greet us”, but neither were true. My wife’s parents arrived with the kids before us, but had trouble understanding from where to collect the keys. Rather than a lockbox nearby as with all my other AirBnBs, my 70 year old father-in-law had to walk about 20 minutes to find the key pick-up location in the 90+ Mid August heat. It was so bad he had to take a cab back once he got the keys. The instructions to get through the second set of doors were also confusing as they mention buzzing people’s apartments when it was a simple key fob. Once inside, there was only 1 partial roll of toilet paper for the 6 of us and there were no paper towels anywhere for cleaning. So check-in was a bit of a mess.
The apartment itself was beautiful and very spacious; however, they need ti tighten the doorknobs. They felt like they were going to fall off at any moment and at one point, the one on the far bathroom did fall off. I got stuck in the second bathroom because the locking pin was stuck and then fell off too.
Finally, as mentioned, it was very hot while trying to sleep and there was only one small fan for the entire apartment. I requested more, but Caroline was unable to provide them.
Why do I still recommend it?
Aside from those issues/inconveniences, the apartment was more spacious than in the photos and the woodwork and trim inside looked reminded me of a museum or a historical building where some famous person used to live! It had enough room for at least 8 or 9 in my opinion, so the 6 of us very very comfortable.
The water was clean, the pressure was great, all the appliances worked well, though the washer and dryer were very slow, so start your laundry early!
We cooked a lot in the apartment, but there were plenty of lovely places to eat a very short walk from the apartment.
It was also a very short walk to the metro stations and of course, the Eiffel Tower.
Bottom line: if you understand where to pick up the keys and are able to do so with a vehicle, and assuming the missing paper products was an anomaly rather than the norm, then this is a pretty good apartment to stay in while visiting Paris.
I hope you found this review helpful. Good luck on your journeys and safe travels!
