This was our first trip to France (me, my wife, and our two adult kids). Booking online in a new country was stressful, and I know I missed numerous details. In hindsight, this apartment was probably the best choice of all the MANY units we researched.Location: As good as it gets, 15–20 minutes walk to the Eiffel Tower, and one minute in any direction to plenty of food. Grocery stores five minutes away.Basement bedroom: Comfortable/small but down a narrow, switchback staircase. Not ideal for bigger people or anyone with mobility issues. The bed is against two walls, so one person may have to climb over the other to get out. No door at the top or bottom of the stairs. From certain spot could see the lower half of the bed. Hung towel on railing, which blocked most of the light and view.Loft bed: Up a ladder above the bathroom and toilet (two separate rooms). Our 20-something daughter was fine with it, but it isn’t completely private.Living room sleeper: Our son used the fold-out chair/sofa. When unfolded, it mostly blocks the door to the patio. That said, the patio itself is an amazing feature, and none of the other units we looked at had one.The lightweight folding wooden chairs (inside and on the patio) worked fine, though at 220 lbs I sat carefully.All of that may sound like drawbacks, but the place worked really well for us. The price and location were excellent! Unit was well maintained. We’d stay again without hesitation.Owner was a gem.Tucson Arizona
