To start with the good things - this appartment is nicely located in the heart of Paris and walking distance to Sacre Cour and the Loure. Also - there are a lot of nice little restaurants in this area you can enjoy. The appartment is quite newly renovated and has a very nice interieur. However, as mentioned by many other guests, it is strongly smelling of cigarettes so be prepared to bring your own scented candle or room fragrance to fight the odeur. Plus - there is reconstruction work ongoing in the appartment next to this - with work starting at 8 am and also the subway going beyond the house meaning every few minutes you hear the train and feel a slight shaking of the house. So be prepared to also bring your ear plugs if you want to get a good rest. On top - on our arrival, we found the sink in the bathroom leaking leaving to huge puddles of water on the floor, which meant we could not wash our hands or brush our teeth in the bathroom. Despite informing the host, it was not fixed after 3 days. Overall - at this point in time I would not recommend staying in this appartment if you want to have some quiet and relaxing time in Paris.
