The apartment is very large and exactly as described. Being nearly 3,000 sq ft in Paris’s 1st arrondissement is a truly unique experience, and the location is exceptional.That said, the major issue was that the building was undergoing heavy construction during our stay. Workers started every day at 8:00 a.m. and continued until 4:00 p.m. The elevator was completely out of service for the entire week, requiring us to climb five floors each time. At one point, the electricity was also cut for an entire day.None of this was disclosed to us in advance. While the owner was very pleasant, he failed to be honest about these conditions, which significantly impacted our stay. My elderly mother was effectively confined to the apartment for the whole week, as she was unable to go up and down the stairs repeatedly.With proper disclosure, we could have made an informed decision. Unfortunately, the lack of transparency overshadowed what is otherwise an exceptional property.

Charming Parisian apartment. Location was excellent and communication with owner was great. We had a great time staying here. Metro is right outside front door and many shops and restaurants all throughout the neighborhood. Two of the bathrooms were a little tricky but we handled it. Overall a great spot.

Great location and apartment! It is huge and a lot of Paris character and charm. The lighting was awful in the master bedroom but made up for with the charm and roominess off the pad

The location was good! My family and I dined at a restaurant recommended by the host. It was expensive but okay—not the best food. The stay was fine. Kitchen had many flies, beds were comfortable but short, especially for taller people. One big complaint was there was construction—that wasn’t disclosed before our stay, and had construction men on our balcony peaking into two of the bedroom. Really unfortunate experience, and wish that this was disclosed. Very slow elevator.
