Probably the best thing about the apartment was the location, a few minutes walk to the Lourve, right beside a Metro station, shops, supermarkets etc. The noise level was EXTREME!!! You can hear every car, truck, motorbike, every person that walks the street, it was EXTREMELY LOUD all day and night. As I was traveling for work I wanted to go back and relax and I couldn’t do that, I had to turn on the large industrial fan just to try and drown out the noise from outside and even at that you could still here it. I understand it’s the centre of Paris, but maybe they need to invest in better soundproofing, new windows etc. The apartment itself was nice, smaller than expected and not the cleanest, curtains were stained and grubby and there was weird smell in the apartment, the bed wasn’t the most comfortable and pillows provided were two hard and one looked like it had been chewed by a dog, I had to go to the supermarket to buy cleaning products to clean the apartment so that it was clean. Was great having the fridge and small kitchen to store food etc, but as I was staying there for a week the apartment wasn’t cleaned once during that time by the cleaners which I felt was not professional. The WiFi in the building also needs to be fixed. Nazeem was very helpful, was greeted warmly and showed me where everything was and how to use everything and was available over the phone whenever I needed something. The addition of the lift was a great help, I feel that if these things were improved in this apartment it would be a gem in the middle of Paris. But I definitely won’t be staying again unless these things are improved.
