This apartment is oppulant and even larger than I realized. It wasn’t clear how it was laid out from the description. The bedroom floor is the bottom level and only has one toilet (WC) for all three bedrooms to share. There’s a tight spiral staircase up to the living floor that has the kitchen, sitting rooms and dining room. The bonus apartment is also on the same level as the living floor.
Eccentric decor with lots of ornate (and fragile items). My 10 year old son counted at least 95 birds throughout the apartment in either murals, busts, or paintings. There are enough plates and glasses to suit any mood.
We used the laundry service and our clothes were returned within a day very nearly folded. This was a great luxury since we had already been travelling for over a week.
The location is amazing. Just steps away from the Seine where you can gaze on the Eiffel Tower. There are air conditioning units in each bedroom which were a must during the scorching summer nights.
Check in was a bit frustrating. I was told to send a message as soon as I left the train station to head to the apartment, which I did. But I was still left outside the apartment for another 25 minutes with my husband, children, and my parents who are in their late 70s. We then had to go through all of the details with Brigitte and it was overwhelming. It would have been helpful to have a simple sheet with the rules and important details. Also, the internet connection is terrible.
