Oh wow the apartment is absolutely splendid in every way!
The location, opposite the beautiful bibliotheque nationale, is so well situated. The Louvre is a mere ten minutes walk and so are many of the best restaurants in Paris. We loved the grandeur of the apartment with its high ceiling and open living area.
Its on the first floor so you wind up an impressive Parisian staircase that is beautifully old to the apartment that is light airy and contemporary but still has those imposing floor to ceiling windows that are typically Parisian.
During our stay we cooked in as much as we dinned out and its very well equipped for this. The dish washer and washing machine are such a great bonus and we made use of both. The bedroom and bathroom were both generous in size. The wardrobe space was a luxury and the heated towel rail and hairdryer along with the super bath products were plush .
Having a toilet downstairs didn't bother us as the stairs up and down were of proper proportions, it was the same as having a second floor and we just washed our hands in the kitchen with the same lovely products.
The host goes out of their way to welcome you and make you comfortable during your stay as does the very lovely house keeper!
The only downside is that we didn't stay longer!
