What a lovely little apartment! The details in the architecture are stunning. The beautiful winding staircase and classic red carpet when you come in the door are beautiful. The apartment was very clean and well kept. The shower is above average size which we also liked. The location is very close to the train and its a quick walk to the arche de triomphe.
The lights are always off in the common areas as they are being environmental so it feels creepy to come to a foreign building and have no lights on when you enter. It was also pitch dark outside and no street lights. I have requested more info for future tenants on the lighting in the common areas as we also had an issue with the lights going out on us halfway down the winding staircase and had to use our cell phone light to make our way down. There was zero personal connection with the host during our stay. She works so was not there to greet us and only checked in with us by email to make sure we emptied the garbage and left the place clean on our exit. I am a people person so was expecting to make a connection with the "HOST" and be given info on the neighbourhood markets, restaurants and info regarding the transportation strike, trains running etc. I am also about the personal touches and we had just come from Barcelona and Poland where our hosts and personal touches were above and beyond. . She did leave tea and coffee for 2 days. BUT.... fantastic little apartment and great location!! Love PARIS!!!
