The apartment is in a great location. Right next to the Opera House. A few blocks from the Big Bus pick up, the Ritz Hotel and glamorous shopping. It is literally close to everything essential in Paris.
The apartment is spacious. The split bedroom plan allows for adult privacy. The apartment is very secure. Codes and keys required to get in. This was important to us as we traveled w three teens.
Only one toilet though. While each room has its own shower and sinks, neither has a toilet. There is just one in the middle of the apartment. Somewhat of an inconvenience.
The negative is simply that the apartment is a bit old. The interior doors are moldy. The master bathroom floor is old and cracking. The washing machine or dishwasher leak when running. The ac in the small room did not work well - leak and noisy - thankfully it was bit nippy at night so the kids slept w window open. The ac in the main living room barely cools. The one in the master worked very well though. Thankfully.
Overall, the location is the key. However, don’t feel it was worth the amount paid per night, especially compared to the palace we rented in Rome.
Gilbert was supposed to meet us but last minute he sent someone else. Pablo was very nice and helpful. But I don’t even know if Gilbert exists.......
