We just completed a several week stay at Virgine and Bernard’s Paris apartment and had a delightful experience. The apartment is accurately represented although I think the VRBO photos understate current reality because now both the bath and kitchen have been renovated to a high standard and the dishwasher and washer/dryer (separate units!) are new Bosch models. In addition, all windows (being on level 2 [US] in a Haussmann building) are very large, new and triple glazed insuring absolute isolation from outside noise. Given the age of the building and its protected status, there are occasional audible footsteps from above but this is pretty normal in Paris apartments. We realize that mattress preference is subjective. That said, the bedroom mattress is the most comfortable we’ve ever experienced in a rental apartment allowing for welcome restful sleep. The apartment is comfortably furnished and in an authentically Parisian non touristy neighborhood with supermarkets and local transit options close at hand…not to mention excellent boulangeries and fromageries. Best of all, Virgine and Bernard are accommodating and very nice people which made for an excellent and stress free rental experience. Highly recommended!
