Overall: The apartment was great. It was bigger than a hotel room and having the kitchen let us cut some of our food expenses by eating in after shopping at the nearby grocery. Even though our flight was 5 hours late, our greeter was cheerful and helpful. This is our second Rentvillas.com experience and I would definitely choose them over other rental groups because I trust them. Enjoyed Most: It was a great location and having an apartment made us much more comfortable than having a hotel. We cut costs by eating meals "at home" and it really felt like home. Enjoyed Least: There was a slight smell, so we had to open the window when we arrived. Small things were lacking - no clock no alarm, no soap dish in shower, no bottle opener. I would recommend owners move into their apartments for a couple days to test what the experience would be like and fill in what is missing. Surrounding Area: The location was great, filled with bars, cafe, shopping, and centrally located to the Louvre, Tuileries, etc. Tips or Restaurants: Climbing the stairs will allow you to eat another croissant!
