This apartment is ideal.
The check-in and check-out were super straightforward and easy. Hector is a lovely host, answering my messages pretty much straight away and he also offered great recommendations for food and museums.
When I arrived, he left me some Parisian wine- which was a lovely touch!
It is ideal if you visit solo or as a couple. On this trip, it was just me and it was fantastic. Paris is usually boiling in the summer, but there was a fan available in the apartment, and three windows that I could open to help with the heat! (no mosquitos, which was another plus!)
The apartment was also very clean and I felt incredibly safe, with a 2-system entry to entering the building.
The kitchen is small but perfect for making dinners and lunches. The bathroom has everything you need, a great shower and it's a decent size. The bedroom, which contained just a bed was also comfortable. it also contained a washing machine and drying rack, which I used a lot, especially as I was staying for three weeks.
The living room was fantastic. Incredibly spacious, complete with a table for eating, another for working, a sofa and a projector for watching tv. Two big windows in this room provided a lively atmosphere of the street.- probably my favourite part of this apartment was opening the windows and listening to the Parisians in the cafes below. Being on the third floor, it wasn't too noisy at all, most nights were silent except for the occasional ambulance noise.
Location-wise, there is the Bourse and Richlieu-Drouot stations very nearby, as well as many supermarkets. The Louvre is about a 15-20 minute walk-almost a straight line from the apartment, and it's about a 15-minute walk to Gallerie Lafayette and the Palais Garnier. So, overall an ideal location!
-only thing is, there are rarely lifts in Parisian apartments, so you have to walk three flights up to get to the apartment, which was no issue for me, but just a general note.
I couldn't recommend this apartment enough! I had THE best time in Paris, largely due to the amenities, location and Parisian feel of this apartment, and also Hector was a lovely host.
