Poor security, fan doesn’t work - all talk but no action from host.

The only positive is the location. We were broken into and robbed in this apartment, luckily when we weren’t there. Requests to change the door pin code were not actioned despite promises. As per other reviews, the apartment is hot with one non operational pedestal fan. We flagged this with the host when we arrived without resolution in the 6 days we were there. Due to the summer and the need to keep the windows closed due to the noise from the restaurants, it was incredibly hot without a fan overnight. I would have thought that this would be an easy fix. The apartment is smaller than what we expected with one double bed and the sofa beds for other 3. This was ok, but not what we expected and the sofa is stained. You might want to find somewhere else to stay if you value your valuables or sleep.

Family Parisian Experience

We traveled with our two daughters 9 and 11 from the states and loved the location and vibe of this rental. There was plenty of room in the flat for all of us to rest and relax. It was very noisy from the cafes and streets below. But the location was part of the draw for us. Opening the windows and sitting with a glass of wine and chocolates from the shop below watching everyone pass by was a highlight. The living room is quit bright at night if you're sleeping on the pull out. The curtains in that room are not room darkening. The shower is also quit small but we managed. Thank you for a lovely vacation!

Excellent location. Small but lovely place in perfect location. No problems at all. Some people might not like the street noise since it’s in the middle of nightlife. We enjoyed seeing all the activity and occasional street performances from the windows.

Ideal location

The apartment couldn't have been more centrally located. It was within walking distance to metro, attractions and lots of restaurants and bars right downstairs. However, being so centrally located also had its downside. When we were there in the middle of August, the weather was in 90s. It got really hot at night with windows closed. We couldn't open the windows due to noise from restaurants and bars and light from the street lights pouring into the apartment. The apartment is on the 1st floor. The apartment also only had one fan and the person sleeping in the living room pull out bed got really hot. Another fan in the apartment would have been ideal. Other then this, we had no complaints about the apartment.

Apartment was fine for our family of 5. The street noise made it hard for my kids to go to bed, but it was really hit the weekend we were there and needed to have the windows open.

The ideal Paris experience

This location is incredible. It’s in the middle of many big sites in Paris. The windows overlook a fun area. It’s pretty lively are that didn’t sleep until about 2am. They have fans to keep air moving since there isn’t air conditioning.

A family stay in Paris

This property is extremely well situated with short walks to Notre Dame/Ste Chapelle and the metro (including the RER B straight to/from the airport). The listing was identical to the pictures and the property was very clean. We visited with my spouse and our three children (ages 12, 10, and 10) and the apartment was very comfortable for the 5 of us, with two of us on the bed, two on the pull out sofa, and one on the pull out twin chair. The property is located in a pedestrian area that is heavily trafficked and so it can be noisy at night when younger kids might be trying to sleep, but nothing that a little white noise and some melatonin can't help fix. We loved our stay and it was so nice to have breakfast from the nearby market and an occasional dinner at home (some truffle ravioli and pasta sauce, cheese and crackers was fantastic) and a nice break from the crowded restaurants. There is a lovely vendor of paninis and crepes up the street and a patisserie as well for morning croissants. Wi-fi was fantastic and communication with the property manager was prompt. We did learn that you may need the master circuit switch located in the bottom box by the dining table (a shower, the toaster, and the coffee maker could not all happen at one time on the circuit). The kitchen is well equipped for easy meals at home. The pharmacie a block away was an easy place to get a travel-appropriate rapid antigen test for a flight back to the US. The window nooks made for a wonderful place to sit and watch people and Friday night brought us a beautiful choir singing just below us.

We can not say enough good things about this location. It was a short walk to many sites, and we felt very safe here. The metro was just down the street, and I loved looking at the people walking the quaint streets below the apartment. The door and entry felt like we were in a Harry Potter movie set. The only negative, was the shower was very small, but that is a Europe thing. The apartment was bright and airy, we absolutely loved it here!
