We visited for Pride in Paris and it was absolutely perfect - wonderful location, walk to everywhere, and a beautiful courtyard. There was a very intense heat wave in Paris during most of our stay, and even though the apartment does not have air conditioning, it was not too bad despite the oppressive heat. The only reasons we would give it a 4 instead of a 5: first, there is a day care center or children's summer camp in the immediate vicinity that generated a thunderous amount of noise on weekdays - nonstop from 9 AM to 7 PM. Visitors would normally be out and about during these hours anyway, but if you wanted to come back for some down-time - forget it. Secondly, I have rented a number of VRBO places in Europe and the US, and never before have I found one that did not stock any basic cleaning products for the kitchen - no dish/hand soap, no paper towels, no sponges, nothing. On check in we were invited to purchase a sponge and two dishwasher tablets for 15 euro. For a property in this price range, I thought that was unconscionable. These, however, are relatively minor complaints. Would I stay there again? In a heartbeat - but next time, I'd bring my own sponge! - Doug, Walnut Creek, CA
