I had a great stay at Helene’s place! It is in a wonderful location in the Le Plateau neighborhood, very clean, & with all the basic amenities you need. Hélène also approved my stay at the last minute which was so helpful.
A few things to note:
- the room is dominated by the king bed, which rests on the floor inside of a bottomless frame, so there’s little space for luggage/personal items.
-The house has three bedrooms which are all rented out on AirBnb. I think Hélène lives in the house on the first floor, but I didn’t meet her in person during my stay. Each room has its own numeric pad lock.
- the space was very clean, but there seemed to be too much unnecessary furniture in not a huge space, making it a bit difficult to move around the apartment. Of the two balconies advertised, one was inaccessible due to extra, unused furniture blocking the door.
- The writing desk shown in the photo is not in the bedroom (as I’d thought) & was also inaccessible because of this extra furniture.
Overall I had a great stay. Hélène’s place is a good value for independent travelers looking for a short stay. However, I probably wouldn’t book again & couldn’t imagine staying here long term.
