The property was just as described. One bed was a little less comfortable than the others, the pull out bed was awesome. We had enough room and it had everything we needed for our stay.
This small apartment was great, clean and in a quiet neighborhood but an easy 15-20 min commute to pretty much anywhere. A nice 2.5 mile jog to the Eiffel.
The pull out couch is the most comfortable bed. The two in the bedroom are a bit lumpy but youâll survive. (The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars)
The apartment doesn't have AC or fans, and it gets very hot in the summer. So it's unbearable to sleep. Leaving the windows open isn't helpful because the apartment is on a busy street. And the noise of scooters at night make it very hard to fall asleep. So we barely slept during the stay. It totally ruined our plans in Paris!
We requested fans, and the manager kept telling us they will send them, but they never came!
The apartment is also pretty old with a weak floor. For example, walking to the bathroom at night time would wake up everyone in the apartment.
The apartment has a washer, but we didn't see a dryer.
The kitchen is ok, no pots or woks, just basic frying pans and stuff. You can make things like omelets, but you can't really cook a good lunch/dinner.
They also requested a deposit of 350 euros, returnable between 8-14 days after check out. In our case, I had to contact them on the 14th day after the check-out before the refund was issued.
The only positive thing is that the apartment offered a bottle of wine as a welcoming gift on the check-in day.
Overall, I don't think this apartment is worth the money. I would rather just stay in a hotel next time I'm in Paris.
Clean and comfortable. Good shower. Decent kitchen. Safe neighborhood. Street side quiet for Paris. Garden side very quiet.
No air conditioning, but wasnât really needed in June. 3-4 blocks from Metro. Walkable to Eiffel Tower.
PROS: The location of the room is fantastic, close to shops, cafes and public transport.The apartment has a balcony that you can stand on, which is really nice. All the windows open up completely so you can look out of them, and it also lets in the breeze. We felt safe, secure and no one in any of the other apartments bothered us at all. The organisation that I booked through had fabulous communication, and we spoke via messages throughout the process. They were fantastic at answering any questions and were very quick with getting back to me. Check in process is really easy.
CONS: Apartment is very small and isn't really suitable for 4 adults and a teenager. Essential items not supplied, like broom, mop, face washers. Also not enough extra linen supplied, like towels, bedsheets, pillow slips, tea towels etc. Not enough essential cooking items supplied either. There were some saucepans, pots, strainer, but only one spatula for all the cooking. Apartment gets very very hot and has no air-conditioning or fans, definitely needs an air-conditioner or fans installed.
With a few extra items supplied and some air-conditioning or fans it would be fantastic.
Overall nice flat but could do with more accessories including night tables, lamps, ironing board & clothes dryer.
Neighborhood is OK and very quiet for getting a good night's sleep. Access to Metro is a short 10-min. walk away.
We stayed here for 7 nights with two adults and two teenage children.
Location (4/5): Located on a relatively quiet residential street. We chose the neighborhood based on a recommendation from a friend who used to live in the area. Overall we were happy with the location. It is not particularly close to any of the attractions and might be better suited for people with family or friends in Paris, but it was easy to get rideshare pickups and actually walkable from some areas of Paris. Local shops were good, and the quiet location was appreciated.
Amenities (2/5): This was a major disappointment. We packed with the plan to do laundry in the apartment. Unfortunately, the washing machine pictured is a washer only. There is no dryer. A hanging rod was provided to air dry clothing, but for a family of four in the winter that was not practical. If you have family or friends nearby who will let you use their laundry this might work, but otherwise this is definitely a reason not to book a long stay in this apartment.
Condition (3/5): The unit is relatively well maintained, but the shower had a serious leak while we were there. Water leaks out from the enclosure and floods the bathroom floor. This is not over spray. It comes out from between the tiles in the side. There is a leak somewhere inside and the drain water is leaking out. The management company seemed unconcerned. We had to mop up the water with a towel every time we used the shower, but with the lack of a dryer this was not pleasant.
Management (4/5): Booking and check-in were easy. Response times were often overnight when we reached out, but it was a holiday so that may hav been an issue. Their lack of knowledge about the condition of the apartment was concerning.
