A quiet apartment in a non touristed part of Paris. Lots of Windows and light. There's a small balcony off the bedroom, but no chairs or table. Otherwise, it would be a lovely place to have coffee or a drink. The listing describes a queen bed, but then under "where you'll sleep", it says a double bed. It's a double bed, not a queen. Also, you cannot see the Eiffel Tower from inside the apartment; you must step out onto the window sill in order to see it, and this is possible from only one window. This wasn't so important to us, but the description seems a little misleading. For people with sensitivity to smells, there's a lot of perfume smells in this apartment. The bathroom with Jacuzzi tub was fantastic.
Checkout was not smooth. We had to wait for the housekeeper, who came 15 minutes late. Apparently there was a delay with the métro, but she was taking her time, coming slowly down the street, texting on her phone. We had a taxi waiting, so we were anxiously watching from the windows. David did finally offer an alternative to leave the keys in the mailbox, but it was a nerve wracking departure.
Also, when I booked the apartment, David messaged me right away and said that there was a discrepancy with the price, and it was actually more expensive, and did I still want it? I agreed, but that was kinda not cool, especially with all the other little things. Any one of these things would've been okay, but they added up.
