The good
We very much enjoyed the apartment overall and appreciated the many unique touches and design of the space. It’s a large apartment and very comfortable. Good views with plenty of natural light. Well appointed kitchen and tons of space for storage.
Excellent communication. We never felt at odds with anything in the apartment. It’s obviously cared after and the results show. We also enjoyed the accompanying videos. Alan and Jone provides numerous tips from checking-in, dealing with tricky doors, ways to help cool things down, and how to set the apartment up to make your stay as comfortable as possible prior to our stay. We always felt cared for and appreciated the host reaching out at various points of our stay.
The not so good
We were there during a heat wave, so the apartment like most in Paris was really warm. There is a small ac, but it really only cooled one room. We had better luck opening the windows and letting the breeze cool things off over time. Doing so does work, but be advised it’s a loud area well into the evening.
The bathroom in the main bedroom is really nice but there is no toilet. Only a shower and sink. The actual toilet is separated from both bedrooms and sits off of the kitchen, which isn’t the most convenient.
The location of the apartment was not our favorite, while it certainly has its nearby charms, including some very cool restaurants and nearby gems, it ended up feeling a bit out of the way for us. We know this might not be an issue for many folks, but for us traveling with a younger child the primary and adjacent streets were not the most inviting, particularly at night. This is not entirely a reflection of the apartment, but it was something we felt worth mentioning as it didn't seem reflected in the description or reviews.
