The reviews here are very accurate. The location is superb. The street out front has every amenity one could want including outstanding restaurants and quaint food shops. The metro is right next door. A lot of the major attractions are within walking distance. We walked to the Louvre in 15 minutes. In spite of the excellent location though, the apartment is very quiet and peaceful. Virtually no street noise at all.
Gérard and Monique are outstanding hosts. Monique is charming and Gérard very responsive and helpful when needed.
The space is small, but cosy and well thought out. Suited our family of four quite well. As noted, the stairs to the loft/sleeping area are very narrow. Could be a real challenge for someone quite heavy or if you have large suitcases.
I have only one small negative thing to mention and that is that the sleeping area is quite difficult to cool down in very hot weather. We were there during a heat wave when temperatures were reaching 37 degrees and it was quite warm upstairs. There are fans provided, but when it’s that hot, even the fans can’t overcome the temperature.
Overall, I’d highly recommend this apartment and if I was visiting Paris again, I’d be happy to stay again.
