center of the historical Paris

Pros: Location Cons:1.shower room drainage is not working. Very very slow. 2. They just painted. Paint smell was unbearable. 3. Cleaning was not done properly. Bathroom trash can was not emptied. I had to do myself first day. Women 's dirty sanitizers were still there. No dishwashing machine. Dishwashing sponge was too dirt to use. I had to buy a new one myself. Floor was not cleaned well. I had to clean. Overall the property was not clean at all. Never will go back.

Location of property is amazing. Everything is close by! Louvre, Notre Dame, the Seine, Les Halles, an amazing selection of restaurants and shopping. Property is clean, pretty large and decorated nicely. It’s our go-to place in Paris. Raphaela is a very congenial and responsive hostess. Thanks very much!

The apartment was very clean and well-appointed. The host Raphaele met us to show us how to operate items in the apartment. Very nice! The location to the metro/trains was wonderful. Grocery store and mall within 5 minutes walking. Spacious for 2 people - would definitely recommend for a couple. I was traveling with a friend and privacy was a little awkward but manageable. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Raphaelle's apartment - it was exactly what we needed in a perfect location to visit everything that we wanted to see. We will certainly return the next time that we are in Paris

Very central with major metro/train station just steps away. excellent connectivity to public transit. Raphaelle is a very responsive host. Apartment is as advertised.

An excellent base in the 1st arrondisement for exploring the Paris sites. A we’ll set-up small apartment with all a couple or single traveler could need.

Raphaele’s apartment is located in the wonderful area of Andorissment 2 on the right bank, one street away from a famous restaurant and food street. It is very close to the Metro main station allowing you to travel easily to most areas. It has been recently refurbished with all the mod cons and offers all you require to have a fabulous holiday. Raphaele personally meets and greets all guests and is happy to provide any advice or recommendations as required. Highly recommended!

The apartment was great, the cleanliness score was because apartment needed a good cleaning. Freezer has not been defrosted in quite some time. Could not get anything in or out of it. No top sheet on the bed. Water was off for 24 hrs. As soon as we got in touch with owner through VBRO she came over and know how Solve the problem. The location was amazing. Close to so many places we wanted to visit. Great place could be so much better with a little TLC.to sa

The host met my sister and I at the apartment upon arrival and went over the apartment. The apartment is in a great location, my sister and I felt safe walking around day and night. Couple of quirks: The stove locks up and there are no instructions for the stove in the apartment and the online information was not helpful, so we did have to call the host over. Tip - to unlock the stove you need to hold down the lock and clock symbol for a few seconds. When you wipe down the stove, it may lock again. As mentioned in a prior review, the shower has a slow drain. However, there is a remedy for this, clean out the drain trap. Yes, it's a little gross because you are cleaning out someone else's hair but it is necessary for the drain to work properly. Costly Stay: The photo presented there are two chairs in the apartment; I am thankful that there was really only one because I sat in the chair and it broke. The host expressed that the chair was sturdy and there was nothing wrong with it prior to me sitting in it. Now, had I been rough or doing something disrespectful, the chair leg would have had a clean break, not a splinter break. Me sitting in the chair one time was not why the chair broke, there had to have been something wrong with the chair prior to me sitting in it. I am being charged over 945 euros to replace the chair. I am disputing this because I simply sat in the chair. Lesson - Purchase the insurance.

We had just completed a 7 day Viking cruise and wanted to spend a week in Paris. Any comments I make are relative to perhaps my own fault, After booking the vrbo in the spring I was informed that my wmail server was discontinuing service Jan 1 2024. So, I change my email to a different account at that time. I also had to change my cell phone # in August 2023. So, I arrived with no available contact to the host. I did advise VRBO of the changes and the host I think before arriving. There was a couple of days of apprehension on my part at that time. Reviewing vrbo, I was able to contact host via tour director on the cruise and she met us at apt. Lovely decorated, ground floor as I have some mobility problems, tastefully decorated in new furniture and very clean. We met with host as arranged by phone and she quickly went thru the amenities quickly, ie tv , washer dryer, coffee maker, trash, etc. We did find tv could only pu one channel so informed host who returned next day to change battery in remote. Afterwards, could only pu one channel till we were to finally change settings and get more channels. We found the towel out for use stiff and mildewed, coffee pot had multiple used containers still in it. After 10 days traveling we needed to do laundry, the washer worked well but after 2.5 hours of drying the clothes were still warm but damp. Dryer may not be vented properly. We finished the rest of our laundry by washing and then hanging on hangers around the ap

Apartment lovely and clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was particularly comfortable. Very quiet at night so slept well. Thanks Rapaela
