Merveil - Family Suite - Louvre - Rivoli

For our group of 6 we had three requirements when picking a place to stay. 1. Must have two toilets minimum. 2. No stairs (or just very few stairs). 3. Close to restaurants and things to do. But must also be affordable. This place fit the bill. Right in the heart of Paris. The Louvre is less than a block away. Lots of nearby restaurants. Easy walk to Saint Chapelle and Notre Dame. Just as I envisioned it. We had one small snafu. On our ride to the apartment from Disneyland I get a message that there was a leak and they would put us in different accommodations. Not ideal but at least we had a place to go. We were placed in an upgraded unit for one night. A 5 bedroom with AC. The next morning we were able to check into our original booking. Even though this switch caused much panic and confusion for us, it all worked out in the end. Apartment was as listed. My brother is 6’3” and very broad shouldered so getting in the shower was a tight squeeze but he was able to fit in. We knew this from the pics going in, so it was not unexpected. The only downfall for this apartment is there is only one key. And the key is needed to get into the stairwell. So if someone was coming back late, one of us would have to wait up to let them in. Or mid day, my sister in law couldnt nap because she’d have to let us in if we were coming back.

The location is fantastic. The couch and chairs are stained. The kitchen is serviceable. It has the basic with a microwave, a kettle, a coffee, Nespresso maker, toaster, and an induction cooktop and fridgeThere is no oven. No dishwasher. Do not plan on cooking meals here.It is a single washer dryer combo unit. There is one full bath one room with the toilet only and one room with a shower sink combo. So not traditional two full bath, 1/2 bath. Overall, we loved our time there. The location was fantastic despite being on a busy street. It was quiet. Spacious enough for our family of five. It’s a perfect apartment to be going all day and coming home for a comfortable sleep. It is a short distance to the metro a short distance to great shopping a short distance to the groceries.

this is a great location, it needs some TLC and updating, but it is solid. Fans keep the rooms cool, the vibe of the neighborhood is incredible. Michelin stared restaurants are steps away, so are amazing cafes and boullangeries, PASTRIES!!! and did I mention its famous neighbor- The Louvre! Metro stops are right there and the SEINE!!!! fantastic place, needs a good cleaning and an updated couch and furniture, BEDS WE GREAT!

Amazing location. Easy check in/ check out. However, the apartment itself was a complete disappointment. The living room and kitchen windows open to a tiny and very dark courtyard. The courtyard is big enough to house the entire complex's trash cans and the windows are just above said cans. So, the sunny living room photo is not representative of what ones experience is. The full bathroom is by the entry, with an additional toilet right adjacent to it. The bedrooms and the other shower and sink are all the way on the other side of the apartment. The towels were pilled dingy "white". We tried to spend as little time as possible in the apartment. So basically, it was like staying in an incredibly expensive one star apartment close to the Louvre. If this was a $200-$300 a night place, I'd understand. However, at the rate they are charging, this was completely disappointing. I would not stay here again.
