Location worked very well for our stay. We were a group of 5 60+ with 2 30-yr olds, and we walked to Notre Dame and the Louvre areas. Metro stations are close (within 10 min walk) in several directions. Neighborhood is quiet, especially at night. The apartment itself is lavishly decorated. More than I usually like, but I appreciated the effort. You enter on ground floor, which includes living, dining, kitchen areas as well as 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Basement includes another living area, 2 large bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Basement bedrooms were great for sleeping. Cool and dark and quiet. Beds and linens super comfy. Slept so well! Only issue was spiral staircase to get to basement — EXTREMELY tight and steep. A normal size adult had to walk up and down carefully. We would not let my 89-yr old mother go down them. Not sure how we got suitcases up and down, but somehow we did. Hosts left a gift basket with snacks and wine, which was a lovely gesture. They were attentive to my texts and calls. The safe in the closet never did work, but we had no issues. Wish they had left a roll of paper towel and more toilet paper, but we survived.
