Beautiful apartment in excellent quarter. The pro's? The apartment itself is centrally located and near the stunning Place de Vosged, a personal favorite spot to chill and people watch. It's also an extremely chic area. The apartment itself is absolutely gorgeous and well appointed with stunning views—you feel lofted and definitely will have an immersive luxe Parisien experience. On the downside, this is the loudest home I've ever stayed in...ever...in my life. Between the upstairs (or downstairs neighbor), the building construction, the early a.m. glass collection (deafening), and the sounds carried up from the extremely busy intersection below, don't expect to sleep in. Room for improvement? Yes—I would recommend some kind of 'welcome' manual assuming someone knows NOTHING about living in Paris to cover things like the washing machine, the washer/dryer, garbage/recycling, Wi-Fi—none of which is provided (that I know of), as well as some form of 'hospitality' like a bottle of water, wine, and bare minimums like coffee capsules etc. Lastly would consider new comforters or something (the extra one in the bedroom closet is kind of gross) and little things like the bathroom where the two faucets are functional but obviously in need of tightening or replacement, and repainting (several large areas of paint are peeling)—these little things add or detract to any experience obviously. Overall it was magical and I would recommend but providing the above details for full transparency.
