This apartment is absolutely beautiful. It’s very well appointed, yet mercifully sturdy for those with kids. Also, the 4 bedrooms worked so well for us as a family of 4!
All in all, I’d give it 5 stars and will surely stay here again if it’s available next time we come to Paris, but below I’ll note the specific positives and negatives in case useful!
Positives:
- Beautiful
- Well located
- Easy check-in / check-out
- Spacious
- They provided UK to Euro plugs in some of the outlets for us, which we hadn’t requested, but they must have just done when they noticed we were coming from England!
- Nespresso coffee machine + coffee available
- They provided a cot for our daughter
- Fast + easy communication with them
Cons:
- After booking and instant payment, they asked us to fill out another form external to Airbnb and pay a deposit of 4x the Airbnb deposit. This was a surprise to us, and I didn’t feel comfortable making additional payments outside of Airbnb, so said as much to them. They kindly waived the additional / external deposit for us, but it felt a bit like they layered an old process on top of Airbnb that wasn’t necessary anymore
- The cot didn’t have the feet on it, so it made a bar stick up in the middle of the mattress. They provided a new cot upon request, but it didn’t come until a day later.
- We weren’t able to store our bags for a couple of hours after check-out, but thankfully used Bounce for temporary storage at a place literally just down the road at the Arcades off Champs Elysees
All in all it was great and I would highly recommend! We loved staying there.
