Unbeatable location and lovely renovation in this classically Parisian apartment. Great restaurants and bar aplenty (literally) on your doorstep and the Marais a 5 minute walk.
I couldn’t give this 5 stars because in temperatures over 25C the apartment becomes insufferably hot, preventing a comfortable night’s sleep.
Understood there wasn’t AC when I booked but when the building acts as a heat soak for the western sun and you can’t possibly leave windows open because the vibrant bars and restaurants don’t calm until 2am only to fire up again with the street sweepers at 7am, sleeping comfortably is impossible. The apartment was hotter than outdoor ambient temperature. Ceiling fans just moved the hot air around.
Had to close the windows and sleep with dampened towels on so the ceiling fan would create an evaporative cooling effect. At the nightly price, the host should really install AC so guests can enjoy a restful sleep June-August. (Disclaimer: I’m an Airbnb super host myself and prioritise quality sleep). I wouldn’t stay again in those months.
