Hermitage

We had an amazing stay at Hermitage. We had three adults and two children and there was plenty of room for everyone. We loved the Eiffel Tower view from both the living room and bedroom. Each bedroom is equipped with an air conditioning unit which kept us very comfortable, even in the summer. The apartment kitchen came well equipped with everything you may need. There is a small grocery store next door and a very good bakery right across the street. The apartment is close to the metro station allowing easy access to different parts of the city. It is in a mostly residential area and felt very safe. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

The apartment is exactly as shown in the listing: bright with excellent views. The kitchen is outfitted with updated appliances, though we only used the coffee maker! Having a breakfast of delicious croissants and fresh coffee starts your day with smile. As we were visiting in June, we had some concerns about the portable air conditioners which were borne out. There are three portable air conditioners which can be moved around the apartment but must be manually vented to the outside. In the primary bedroom and the small room with the convertible sofa there are in-wall vents to which you can connect the exhaust from the a/c. However, in the main salon and in the second bedroom, you must vent through an open window. So - having the a/c in those rooms means you must leave the windows open. In June, the a/c was fighting the outside heat and losing the battle. It was very hot in the apartment despite having all the curtains closed when we returned after a day of sightseeing, and it didn't really cool off during the evening. I would have left a 5* review but for the portable a/c. I understand that part of the charm of this apartment and the surrounding area are the exteriors which are not constantly torn down and rebuilt. This generally precludes central a/c, but the uncomfortable heat and humidity are factors which impact a vacation.

WOW! The Hermitage apartment is incredibly beautiful! What a gem! We rented it for a week in December -- during the holiday season and we are so glad we did! The apartment is SO big and spacious and thoughtfully furnished. It felt cozy in the evenings when we returned from sight-seeing. The living room area has two super comfortable couches and there is a full dining room table. We cooked a holiday meal in the kitchen that has everything needed to cook a big family meal. We shopped locally for all the ingredients -- just a few blocks away @ Rue Cler. We got a Christmas tree from the local florist around the corner! We were with our two adult children, so it was nice to have three bedrooms so everyone had there own space. The views from the apartment were spectacular and one of the highlights was seeing the sunrise over the city in the mornings! We were just a few blocks away from the subway and this made it easy to navigate to anywhere in Paris. We were also in walking distance to many great restaurants and the Eiffel Tower. The Paris Perfect team did a wonderful job. They thoughtfully provided essential info. before our arrival, sharing information about taxis, etc. and our host welcomed us to the property. They are super helpful and answered any questions we had during our stay. This is the second Paris Perfect property we have stayed in and we can't wait to return again! P.S. We have also rented one of their apartments in Rome and that was also awesome. : )

We loved staying at The Hermitage!! Our greeter was so lovely and welcoming as she showed us the beautiful apartment. The floor plan is open and inviting but the BEST thing about The Hermitage is the magical light coming through the almost floor to ceiling windows in the great room! We would do it all over again!
