This apartment is every bit as stunning as the pictures. The historic architecture of the building has been kept intact. The rooms are spacious and very beautiful, and comfortable for spending quality downtime in the city or working from home. The kitchen is the perfect setting to cook and enjoy a meal. The children’s room is adorable. The beds are comfortable, and the curtains block the light for a great night's sleep. The street can be understandably noisy at night, so it’s important to have the windows closed at night. The windows are new, double pane windows that keep the apartment peaceful and let in a ton of natural light.
The apartment is near the Place de la Bastille, so it’s easy to walk, bike, taxi, or metro anywhere in the city. The elevator was reliable and worked well. The hosts were accommodating with an earlier check-in time, which was greatly appreciated. One thing to note from the perspective of mobility is that the toilet is on the opposite side of the flat from the bedrooms. For us, that was no problem. The showers and bathtub are convenient to/connected to the bedrooms. Overall, this flat is spacious with a gorgeous blend of historic architecture, sunbathed rooms, captivating art, beautiful art books, and thoughtful family home touches.
