To give some context for my review, I stayed here with family as a group of 3 adults and 2 children (a 2 year old and a 6 month old).
I’ll begin with the pros:
1. The apartment is quite clean, and furnishes and finishes seem rather new, modern and well maintained.
2. The place is well located in the Opera area, a few minutes walk away from the large department stores and a short taxi ride away from all the major attractions in Paris
3. The Pick A Flat team were easy to communicate with via live chat, and provided us with travel cots for the children as well as a fan since the weather was hot (all upon our request in advance of our arrival)
The cons for us were:
1. The apartment was extremely hot during the summer (actually hotter than outside). Despite having asked for fans for both rooms we only found 1 in the flat initially, and I had to ask for another again, which we didn’t receive until the last day.
2. The en-suite bathroom doesn’t contain a toilet, which is something I would expect to be clear in the listing.
3. The lift in the building is extremely small. We had to go up and down in 4-5 rounds every time in order to take the children and their buggies down (which we also had to bring down folded). Again, I would expect this to be clearer in the listing.
4. The kitchen could be better stocked with some standard items.
5. Overall, we felt that the place was rather overpriced for what it is, and is probably not the best choice for people with young children.
