This home was a 13 minute walk from Champs de Mars-Tour Eiffel (RER C) and 6 minutes from Bir Hakeim (6). Sarah met us downstairs and escorted us to the flat. The room, like any other studio in Paris is modest and cozy. A great fit for those who are okay with being intimate with one another (I.e. Significant other, family, close friend). Sarah told us about the local grocer and where a launderette is located (10 minute walk). The neighborhood is safe and many tourists were seen strolling about. Our host was okay regarding communication (sometimes it took half a day for a response rather than within a few hours). Additionally, Jihua doesn't speak English The main issue we had was with the wifi. The connection is very poor and I was unable to get any work done (I would use my data or wifi at restaurants/cafes). We didn't use any of the kitchenette but a microwave and electronic stove were available. There were a fair amount of dishes, cups, and cutlery as well. There's a Nespresso machine and kettle (bring your own pods, tea bags and sugar). The beds were not comfortable for me. My partner preferred the real bed and both just made my lower back pain worse. The shower had great water pressure but due to its small size I was always in and out.
TL/DR or highlights:
-Terrible wifi
-Studio
-Essentials provided
-Good for 2-3 people
-On 8th floor (it's ok, there's a lift)
-Storage is under the mattress (lift handle)
-Pull out can be a pain (watch your toes)
Thanks Jihua and Sarah!
