The location is excellent for exploring Paris with enough space for 6 friends to have private space and communal space. the apartment is decorated in a comfortable style and the dining area great for eating and conversing. The kitchen is small but manageable. It lacks knives that actually cut ir slice, the rest is doable. Cleanliness in the kitchen was not good as everything had to be washed before using and the small stove area was grimy. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms all had great showers and no plumbing issues at all. It would be nice uf you were given enough towels for 10 days. 6 people and 6 bath towels woukd be okay for 5 days but fir 10 days it needs to be doubled. The washing machine worked but the dryer was a waste of time. After 4 drying cycles and 12 hour attempt the clothes were still damp and everything had to be hung to dry, and thank goodness we had fans for circulating the air. There are no windows and two sets of French Doors opened when needed. Overall the temperature was good because of the number of fans provided. The manager Brook responded quickly to the problems we had with the electric door locks when their batteries died. We had a set of keys for the one set of French Doors so we were not locked out. Be sure and ask for the keys in case of emergency. Those problems didn’t impact our enjoyment of the apartment and despite a few things mentioned we dealt with everything and were so happy to be in such a great space with this much room

The property was just as advertised and in a great location!! Location was within walking distance to several shops & restaurants but was on a quiet street which was nice. This was our first trip to Paris and our host Brooke was very helpful.

We were first time visitors to Paris and we absolutely loved our time at Vivaldi! The host sent information prior to the visit about the apartment, the activities to do in the area, places to eat, and places to shop. The host was always reachable with prompt responses. Regarding the apartment itself, when we entered it felt like we stepped into the essence of Paris. The decor, the stone, the furniture was done in such a tasteful manner, coupled with the basket of treats and wine, it was everything we imagined it would be! This is a special apartment!

Beautiful old Villa with exposed stone and very nice to look at, however very difficult to live in. The downstairs very difficult to navigate the circular stairwell but once there the rooms were comfortable and bathroom usable. The upstairs bedrooms were very small and offered little privacy. Bathroom in the Master was ok but the other one meant exiting your room and going thru the entire house to get to it. Sitting area small but usable.....the kitchen .....well we did not use it really other than washing the glasses in dishwasher .....we presume that all needed items might be in this area.....but no order to it nor instructions on how one might use some of the ones we might have used. Biggest disappointment was the lack of outside sitting areas.....inside courtyard very nice and offered security but no furniture to use and only drew loud ire of upstairs neighbor when we tried to use it to smoke. The garden area ......nice to visit if you wanted to walk to it......short walk.......but totally useless to renters. No seats and more ire probably if went over there to enjoy a smoke. Have been to Paris a few times and the area is fine.....walkable to local Metro which all should learn how to use as it is the way to travel since the traffic in the city is difficult. This Villa is really suitable for a small family to share but not for the 4 couples that we were part of .....could not really handle us properly. Paris is a magnificent city and we shall return but unfortunately not to Vivaldi.
