the location is brilliant in a beautiful old building The apartment was not. Firstly we had to wait 30mins (in the cold) waiting for georges to arrive. We told him what time we would be arriving and phoned when we were 10 minutes away. There was no soap in the bathroom, the window in the bedroom was broken and stuck together with tape - the glassware were old and mismatched and no wine glasses. All drawers in the bedroom were filled with owners belongings so we couldnt use them. the curtains looked like old sheets - there were only 2 pillows for the bedroom. The TV was basically a tiny computer screen - not even a smart tv! The lock on the front door was very tricky to open - but like i said the location was absolutely perfect
We had a pretty good stay. The apartment is very close to all the major attractions: the Louvre, Tuilleries, Musee DâOrsayâŠall within walking distance. Bakeries, bank, restaurants, and grocery store are all within the block. The biggest issue we had was the apartment does need updating, especially with a working washer/dryer and fresh linens. We stayed a week and needed to do laundry, especially traveling with children. The washer did not work at all. In fact, it left our clothes stained and soaking wet even after âdryingâ. There was an issue with the toilet, but the owner sent a plumber ASAP. Would I stay here again? I would if there was a working washer/dryer. Cant beat the location.
The apartment is in perfect location for everyone who is interested in visiting the most famous places in Paris. Itâs just few minutes from the river Seine, Louvre or Musee DâOrsay. The Notre Dame cathedral and the Luxembourg garden are also walking distance from the apartment. There is a Metro station nearby which is on the line for the Eiffel Tower and Versailles or the Opera Garnier. This is a quiet apartment situated in a safe building on the first floor looking to a small courtyard. There are numerous small restaurants and cafes next to it as well as supermarket close by. Overall it is a perfect place to stay in Paris for everyone who is looking for a reasonable accommodation with excellent location.
Great location, cute apartment, horrible experience with property manager
The apartment is cute but needs a bit of work, the location is amazing. However it was a nightmare dealing with the property manager. He told me to email him an hour before our estimated arrival and he would meet us there but there was no one there. We waited for 10-15 and emailed again and left a voicemail. Still nothing. We had to call VRBO who tracked the owner down who then said the manager was in the apartment and he would meet us shortly. 20 min later still no one. When he finally showed up he asked that we hand him 60 euros cash because he said we provided him false information. When we refused he just left us there. We had to run after him in the street. Luckily we had all the emails and were on the phone with VRBO at that moment so he let us in eventually but just he threw the keys and didnât provide any info (eg code for the front door, check out instructions, etc). It really soured what would have been an otherwise pleasant stay.
Loved the cosy, older style atmosphere of this apartment. With a separate bedroom and pull-out couch (very comfortable!) it's great for two friends to have their own space. The kitchen is very well equipped with induction cooker, microwave and dishwasher. It was great to have a washing machine too! The location was literally round the corner from Musee d'Orsay and some fab restaurants plus a terrific Monoprix 100 metres away in Rue Bac. It was perfect for our week long stay.
