I had the opportunity to stay in this apartment for one month.
BEST FEATURES:
1. LOCATION - I chose this location because of its central location. It is located in a high-end shopping area, with stores like Gucci and Hermès on the corner. It is also a block or two from Place de la Concorde, La Madeleine, Jardin de Tulleries and 2 Metro stations. There are plenty of restaurants in the area.
2. CUSTOMER SERVICE - Pierre was easily accessible and responded to my messages in a timely manner. The apartment was stocked with the basics (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, etc.) for my stay. A helpful information folder was also provided.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
1. As most buildings in Paris are older, the charm of this apartment comes with an old staircase, old tile, etc. I was perfectly fine with it.
2. Since this is located in a shopping area, it is a very lively street, so you will hear the traffic when you open the window. I felt like I was truly part of the city and enjoyed the energy
3. The store on the street-level of the building was under construction my entire stay. The stairs were being repaired for about a week. The street was under construction my final week. Obviously there is nothing Pierre can do about construction, but a Parisienne friend told me that Paris is always under construction, so now I know to ask a host prior to any stay.
