Fantastic location, needs tlc
My family and I spent a week at this property.
What we liked: the flat is in a great location with lovely views over the Invalides; across the street from one of the best metro lines into central Paris; a walk from the Eiffel Tower and the Musée d’Orsay; the area is full of character (in a good way) with a lot of brasseries/cafés/restaurants and wonderful food shopping on the bustling rue Cler; the sitting/dining-room is spacious and warm with ceiling beams; the kitchen, while small is well equipped; the spare bedroom is a good size and bright. Double-glazing reduces traffic noise efficiently.
What we found disappointing: the flat needs maintenance. 3 of the shutters don’t work. The mechanism is ancient and broken. The paint peels off some walls in the sitting-room. The mattresses in the spare bedroom are worn and uneven. The pillows are made of lumpy foam. The bath towels are small and old. There was no shampoo or soap in the bathroom.
With just a bit of investment in maintenance, this property could easily deserve 5 stars (despite the very small main bedroom and toilet and 2nd shower).
