We arrived at the agreed time, and the lady was cleaning the apartment and greeted us warmly and explained everything to us. She was very friendly and welcoming. The apartment was smaller than we expected, but it was perfectly located on the Rue De Rivoli, directly opposite the Louvre in the heart of Paris. It is really an awesome location to be in while staying in Paris, so we were very happy to be there. There was not enough beds for all of us, so we slept our 12 year old on the floor, and our 16 year old on the lounge, which was not ideal, but we made it work without too much problems. Luckily, we know our friends really well, so sharing the apartment with them and their girls was no problem, and we really enjoyed the time together. Being able to step outside and walk to all of the main attractions in the city was awesome, and we rarely spent long periods of time inside the apartment. The cleaning could be improved, and the maintenance of some of the furniture and fixtures needs attention, but overall, we were very satisfied and happy with the apartment, and in particular, its location. During our stay, we had an issue with the washing machine, and the wifi, but in both instances, they were attended to and fixed immediately, with no inconvenience for us whatsoever. The hosts even went out of their way to organize a second set of the house keys for our friends who were staying with us. We were very impressed. We would recommend this apartment to anyone considering a visit to Paris, particularly if you are wanting to stay in a central city location within easy walking distance to attractions, restaurants etc. Be aware though, the Rue De Rivoli is a very busy street, and the traffic noise is 24hrs a day non stop. It didn't bother us, we expected as much in the city, but if you're looking for peace and quiet, or are a light sleeper, look elsewhere.
