First of all, I cannot imagine a more perfect location to stay in Paris and the apartment is beautiful. That said, in my opinion it should NOT say it is ideal for four people (details below) and that it is air conditioned.
Pros:
- perfect location in the Marais
- beautiful design
- excellent communication with the hosts, who were very responsive
- nice shower/bath/kitchen area
Cons:
-AC and sleep situation: Air conditioner in living room does not cool down even that room (even if on strongest setting), much less the bedroom. It is only cool when you are standing in front of the unit, although it was never hotter than mid 80s when we were there. I asked hosts to get a fan for the bedroom when I read other reviews about heat (after I had booked) and they did but the fan was not working — not that it would’ve made much of a difference given that the air conditioner is not very effective . We (two people) left after one night because it was impossible to sleep there (heat and bed situation) and at a price much higher than nearby hotels I expected more. If you are going during a cooler period, and you are one person or a couple, it is perfect. To clarify (if not clear and you’re still reading :)) you could spend much less and get two hotel rooms in the area if you were adults looking for two beds; the second place to sleep is the sofa bed in the main room. We were two people so if each take a sleeping area someone gets stuck with the couch bed in living room, someone else in bedroom while other person sleeping just outside room so can’t go out without waking them, so awkward either way. Excuse the long explanation but it’s what I would’ve like to know.
