The Nest 3

Hello, welcome to our nest, thank you for choosing to stay here.

To enjoy your stay, please refer to the following for some guidance.

The sunrises can be breathtaking in the living room, it's so worth waking up early for it!

In the evenings the Eiffel Tower also has an enjoyable hourly blinking display.

We have installed electric shutters, the switches are next to the light switches.

The windows can be opened, if you do so, please mind the shutters, as they can be blown by the wind.

Please make sure to close the windows when unattended as rain can enter the flat.

The building does not have facilities for centralized air conditioning, so we suggest a few ways to go through the hot and sunny days:

• As the sun strikes the flat in the morning, blinds and curtains shall be drawn shut until about 1 PM.
• To allow the breeze to cross through the living room, open at least the kitchen and the study/bureau windows.
• We have several fans and humidifiers around the place and in each room.
• We have just installed a stand-alone Aircon. Please refer to the Appliance instructions below to operate them.
• For reprieve outdoors, consider going to the nearby air-conditioned Beaugrenelle mall or a walk by the nearby river under the shade.

The building has 24/7 security & safety officers, chances are high that disturbances will not pass unnoticed.

You can enjoy the place but we don't allow parties and loud noises. Please be considerate of our neighbors.

If you go through the concierge/security (guardian in French), who will always be there on the 2nd floor, you might be questioned on your stay.

You have every legal right to rent our apartment, we own the flat and we only rent it out on the few days we're away for vacation.

The Guardian/concierge is just doing their jobs of maintaining security as well as trying to counter those who are trying to make Airbnb into a full-time business rental.

The kitchen drawers are push-system drawers that can be easily activated when you touch them. It can be quite a challenge to close them for the uninitiated, especially for the drawers that are quite full and heavy. The trick is to do a quick but firm push to close it.

Most of the push system is located at the bottom of the drawers. Cupboard doors that are within reaching distance don't have a push system on them so they can simply be opened and closed like regular doors.

Kitchen light switches are all grouped together along with the living room. Special party lights are controlled individually and connected to extension wires near the column where there are plants.

You can leave the trash and we will take care of it after you leave. Otherwise, the trash chute (beside the oven, in the kitchen) is working and can accommodate small trash bags.

If needed, big trash bags can be thrown at level RdC (Rez-de-Chaussée, level 0). You will need the key-badge to access the area and go to Local 8, where the trash is to be thrown.

Electrical outlets are scattered throughout the apartment. In the living room and kitchen, you will find outlets discreetly hidden underneath the window rail. There are also several extension cords throughout the apartment.

If you need additional ones, extra extension cords can be found in the bottom drawer on the left-hand side, facing the bed in the Red Room.

To check the water in the small bedside humidifiers, check the side of the humidifier to see if there is still water inside.

We recently added this portable Aircon unit to improve your comfort. Please note that it is not powerful enough to cool the entire apartment.

The water tank is located at the rear. Fill it with water. You may also place an ice pack inside the top compartment. Then use the Cool Mode to help humidify and slightly cool the room.
