We were lucky enough to find this small apartment at the last minute for such a great price. The inside is small (there is a very tiny bathroom) but it is cozy, and the window lets in so much light, it’s beautiful. The apartment is right across the street from a grocery store, and it is extremely close to the Riquet metro station and bus stop. Plus, Alizée is a great host with great communication.
WARNING! The steps are narrow, and the apartment is on the 3rd floor (in America = 4th floor). My fiancé and I slipped twice, once trying to take the luggage down and another simply walking. TIP: pack light if you can and be careful on those stairs.
The building itself has a mildew smell that doesn’t affect the apartment too much. However, if you have a strong nose, it might bother you.
The apartment is around 20-30 minutes from the major sites by metro or bus. If you don’t mind taking public transportation, biking, walking, or ride sharing everywhere, then this apartment is perfect. You literally canNOT beat the price in Paris!
