Merveil - Luxury Serviced Apartment - Aboukir VI

Great location

This was my bucket list…. Taking my daughter and granddaughters to Paris. This VRBO was like a mini Versailles. All the comforts of home, including air conditioning. It is beautiful! We felt very safe . Bistros and shops at our door step. Shopping mall an easy walk to.We will be back again. Sandra

This property is very well situated and the local concierge was helpful and responsive. We found the place to be clean and tidy, but the website photos make the apartment look much more chic and up-to-date than it really is. The decor was a bit tired, one "bedroom" is up some steps but open to the living area, with curtains for privacy and a low ceiling like a ship's bunk. The sofa bed in the living room was tired, needing a new mattress. Our group of 4 women had a lovely time, but we would have appreciated more accurate photos and description.

The location is extremely convenient, and the appointments are nicely modern. The pictures on this listing, however, are somewhat misleading. There are two dedicated bedrooms, both of which are largely occupied by their respective beds. Getting around those beds requires some gymnastics as there's very little other space. The mezzanine level is impossible to stand up in, even for children. It holds a bed, but no box spring--that's how weirdly short the space is. And the bathrooms are akin to a plane bathroom: Extremely small! There's one full bathroom, one space with a sink and shower and one water closet. So, two bathrooms total although the second one is bizarrely divided. Everything was clean, but the welcome was lukewarm. We received a lot of rules before checking in (replete with a threat that we'd be kicked out and charged anyway if we violated any of them--nice!). When did get there, we couldn't enter the apartment before 4 p.m., despite arriving at 7 a.m., and only one towel was provided despite reserving the apartment for six guests. Guests are discouraged from calling the emergency number, but we did anyway to get more towels, and they were delivered promptly. All in all, it was convenient and nicely done, but so small for six Americans! I think it'd be perfect for a couple with one child or two couples who really get along.
