A Beautiful Flat but Missing Some Essentials
Beautiful flat, although the five flights of stairs to get there were a lot. I'm told most Paris buildings typically have elevators. Not this one. So that was difficult. Otherwise, it was fine but I would recommend the owners stock the place for appropriate needs. For a place as expensive as this one, it should have dishwasher and laundry soap, at a minimum, and maybe some sugar and espressos. Also, please invest in pillows as those provided cannot be called pillows -- they are flat as pancakes and we had to use several at a time to support the head.
Please also include instructions about how to use the appliances -- none were provided and so I had to text the manager, who once did not respond at all. The washer took 5 hours (!!) to complete a load, and I think that was operator error -- but again, no instructions.
The location is great, but it took us most of the week to discover all the gems in various directions. Again, going back to the need for some instructions -- a map with all the great restaurant options, wine stores, bakeries, produce stores, or general grocery stores would have been phenomenal.
The manager was kind enough to allow a delayed check out at 11 a.m., though I will say 10 a.m. is an awfully early check out, especially for a place of this magnitude and expense.
We did love the view from the terrace, and cannot say enough about Paris. C'est magnifique!
