The location of this apartment is absolutely fantastic. There are amazing restaurants and shops within steps of the front door. That being said, once in the apartment, there is literally no street noise. It’s the best of both worlds.
Unfortunately, we were unable to get the tv changed to the English speaking setting, but we didn’t travel all the way to Paris to watch tv, so I wouldn’t consider it that much of a deal breaker.
While the apartment is a decent size for Paris, there wasn’t much space for our belongings. There was no space for us to hang our clothes; we had to keep everything folded and used the stairs to the loft as our storage area. The bathroom also lacked an electrical outlet, so blow drying my hair proved to be challenging. Additionally, there were no extra pillows or blankets available for us to use.
The apartment “guidebook” didn’t really have any useful information as far as the neighborhood or restaurant menus etc.; it mostly contained instruction manuals for electronics. Luckily, I did my own research in advance and made myself knowledgeable on the area.
Despite the few minor downfalls, the location really couldn’t be beat. And we were in Paris, after all.
