Merveil - Luxury Suite - Louvre - Aboukir I

Excellent place.

Great property that’s was in a great location and perfect for our 2 families to enjoy while we adventures in Paris.

The description of the space was not accurate. The design of the space was dangerous. The spiral staircase was oddly configured and a serious falling hazard. There is an opening in the 2nd floor living room to the first floor that any small child could fall through. This space should be limited to adult visitors. It was clean but I would not return.

A total scam no privacy one large room divided by curtains tiny frig bathrooms horrible.

Before you rent, definitely read the other detailed reviews about how this property in person differs from the photos on the site. The photo lens used for the VRBO listing completely distorts and exaggerates the size and layout of this rental. The only full bathroom is on the entrance level inside the front door and accessible only by a narrow, dark and rickety spiral staircase— a nighttime hazard and daytime inconvenience. And get ready to carry your suitcases up this staircase. The rooms are separated by glass walls (as pictured) but privacy curtains are cheap and don’t even cover the whole window/wall between bedrooms. There is a shower and tiny sink in one bedroom. The toilet closet is separate and accessed from the living room and the door opened right onto the kitchen. The street was closed by construction with zero notice from host that we could only access the apartment by foot—worst at arrival and departure with luggage. The host was VERY attentive to small maintenance concerns during our stay. Large windows and high ceilings are nice. Location close to metro and vibrant neighborhood are big pluses.

So the pictures are accurate but it's a little confusing to piece together the apartment from the online listing. The only full bathroom is downstairs on the street level and that is the only thing down there. Just an entrance way, a large full bathroom (which was very nice and spacious) and a metal spiral staircase to go up. Don't bring huge luggage or you'll have to drag it up! The upstairs living space is fine. Not super fancy, but fine. The ceiling of the sleeping loft is LOW. You cannot stand upright and there's no place to put a suitcase up there, so my daughter had to keep her suitcases on the floor in the main living area. There is a very small toilet room in the main living area, and then a sink/shower combo (no toilet) off one of the main level bedrooms. We were just a family of four so we made due, but this could be a little weird if you were traveling with a large group or with friends. It was warm while we were in Paris and AC worked very well. Plenty of dishes/etc. in the kitchen. Plenty of plugs / USB connections for phones, etc. Location - there is massive construction on the street and it's blocked off. Kind of a pain with Ubers/cabs, etc. There are prettier neighborhoods in Paris, but this was convenient to the Metro station and walkable to the Louvre, Les Halles, Tuilieres garden, Notre Dame, etc. Too far to walk to the Eiffel Tower. We didn't use the washer/dryer, can't comment on it. Overall - good space for Paris.

Perfect location

What a cool spot to enjoy the city

Our family of four stayed here for five night and it was exactly what we were looking for. Spacious enough felon everyone and a quick walk to dining and other shops, including a Starbucks for my teens. Property management team was excellent and responsive and quickly dealt with a linen issue we encountered. Highly recommend this an an alternative to a hotel.

Enjoyed our stay, apartment was everything we expected.

This was the third VRBO apartment we rented in Paris for a family reunion in late June. It worked reasonably well for 2 grandparents, a daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter (19). Beds were comfortable. The air conditioning worked well, but does not serve one of the bedrooms. There was a good supply of plates, glasses and tableware. The location is close to the Sentier Metro station and not a long walk from Les Halles. The small kitchen - no dishwasher or oven - and lack of a dining table made eating dinners in a bit of a challenge. Sitting on stools around the peninsula became uncomfortable. Two couches provided the only comfortable seating. The spiral staircase was a challenge, especially at night. The bathroom and bedroom descriptions are misleading. There is one full bathroom, which is on the ground floor with no other living space; trips down and up the spiral staircase are needed to access it. One of the two half baths is captive to the inner bedroom and includes a shower and small basin. The other has a toilet with a small basin mounted on its lid - not very useful. Two of the bedrooms are on the main floor. The third is a sleeping loft with a ceiling height of about 1.2 m (4 ft) and is accessible only via the spiral staircase. The combined Indesit clothes washer/dryer has limited capacity and presented challenges (long cycles). The bathroom limitations and locations, limited seating and dining area, and distribution of the living spaces suggest that more than five people would have difficulty living here for more than a few days. The management company, Merveil, was very responsive and helpful.

Nice property
