We wanted to be close to the Arc de triomphe and metro so this location was great for that purpose. Mikael was very flexible about check in and check out! It was so nice to check in early! Like others said the apartment could use some updating. It felt very dingy. The pictures show the walls white, but in reality they are extremely dirty white. There are no cleaning supplies at the apartment. The sheets and towels were clean, but the rest of the apartment was brushed over. The stairs to the downstairs bedroom are steep and awkward. I wouldn’t recommend them for older adults or children. It was a fabulous location to watch the fireworks on NYE. You can hear everything on the streets and the people moving around in above apartment, but that’s to be expected in older buildings. I think the place could be okay if it was it redone, deep cleaned and new decor.
