We just adored the apartment. Had the elevator been in service (4 story walkup was a surprise) it would have been 5 stars. We get that it has to happen sometime, and it was operational the morning of our departure, so it won't be a future problem. We were a group of 7, including a 5 year old. This was our home in all ways. The beds were comfy, we cooked in the kitchen daily, having a full bath in each suite was terrific. The location is unbeatable! We walked most places (the Louvre, gardens, Shakespeare bookstore, Notre Dame, San Chapelle, shopping, dining, etc. If you have a need for space, and want to live like a royal Parisian, stay here. I was sad that we did not experience the welcome snacks that are pictured. We received flowers, and they were gorgeous, but after 12 hours of travel, food would have been a true oasis for the group! We loved it all though. It was a perfect base for a week in Paris. Worth every penny!
