The apartment is older, as is the neighborhood, with nice renovations and a lot of history and character. It is in an amazing location, lots of excellent restaurants. We used the royal palace gardens (right behind apt) as our route to walk back and forth from the Louve/Touleries, it was Magical. The hosts Sam and Issac were excellent, very responsive when issues arose, they worked hard “to make things right.” I would certainly stay here again.
