Hotel Luxury with Home Comforts!
High-end finishes, marble everywhere, high-end appliances, and thoughtful touches to make you feel at home. They had beautiful art hanging. The light switches were cute metal toggles. Marble everywhere. They have a small elevator that was especially helpful getting our bags up and down.
Hosts
The hosts were great! They communicated clearly and quickly. Check-In was a breeze. We were given all the codes to get in, and all the information for inside, like TV and WiFi. When we had questions, they addressed them.
Bedroom
The bedroom was comfortable. It had zoned temperature control, separate from the rest of the flat. They had blackout curtains. The bed was nice. The bedding was so fluffy and light. We had more than enough pillows and layers. Next to the bed, were switches to control all the lights without having to get up, shelves, and charging ports: USB C, USB A, and outlets. Watch TV while lying in bed. The closets were a dream: organized spaces, shoe horn, shoe brush, polishing cloth, slippers, and a safe. The closet had hangers and beautiful glass front drawers. The flat bottom shelf pulled out. There was so much organized storage! Next to the closets was a little nook with a velvet cushion and a large mirror. The windows overlooked the street. We watched people lined up around the block to eat at a restaurant. We just had to try, too! (We Cantine, the Vietnamese restaurant was delicious.)
Kitchen
The kitchen was just like home. There was a glass dining table with seating for 4. They had everything: sink with soap and sponges, dishwasher with pods, combination stove/oven/microwave/convection, refrigerator, freezer, cooking and eating tools, wine opener, plates, cups, goblets, servers, platters, pitcher, trivets, placemats, etc. We spent a lot of time cooking and eating while planning our day, or daydreaming while looking out the window. The hosts have thought of everything in the kitchen!
Coffee/Tea Nook
Super cute! Nespresso machine. Water boiler. Pull out the drawer for sugar, tea, Nespresso pods, caf and decaf.
Living Room
Super comfy! This was the most comfortable pull out couch I have ever slept in. It was a legit queen bed with a decent mattress. The living room had a little section with books next to the TV. There were lots of drawers and shelves. In the corner, a built in desk.
Laundry
There was a little laundry nook. It had an ironing board with steam iron in the closet. The washer/dryer combo machine was super cute.
Foyer
There was a mirror and space to drop your keys or purse, and another drawer for storage. This place had so much hidden storage!
Bathroom
Separate toilet area with pocket doors. Across from it, a closet with all the cleaning supplies should you need them.
Bathroom
My son spent a lot of time in the bath. There was a comfy head rest, mirror TV and jets. He was in heaven every night! The sink had a big mirror and a smaller magnifying one. They provided cute little soaps and toiletries—even a nail kit! The wall had a timed towel warmer. The shower had thermostatic control for the water. Set the temp you like, and forget it! To turn the water on, use the top knob for handheld or rainforest heads. There were more than enough towels of different sizes.
Location
Everything was close. Steps from restaurants, a small grocery/liquor store, tabac, metro, boulangerie, and even a mall! We were able to walk to the Louvre, Notre Dame and Latin Quarter, Le Marais, etc. For fun, we took the Metro two stops to the Arc de Triomphe, one stop to Palais Garnier. The neighborhood is lively, but you can still sleep quietly at night.
Thank you. Everything was perfect! It was our first time to Europe. Paris is amazing!
