As others mentioned, the pictures don’t do this place justice.. Clemence’s apartment is VERY chic and has every amenity you would need for a pleasant stay.
Location…
Very convenient and walkable. For our practical needs there was a Fanprix (market, essentials) and Pharmacy (for Covid test, which was required to reenter the US a/o May20) within a 5-10 min walk. There are also Metro stations within a 10 min walk as well, which is extremely easy to use. Consider buying tickets to cover multiple days to save yourself $/€.
Apartment…
As you can see in the pictures and in other reviews, the place is stunning. Please note this unit is on what we in the US consider to be the 2nd floor. There are stairs but not an elevator if that’s something you need. A couple of things I usually like to know about are:
Bed - queen size, comfortably firm, quality sheets and pillows.
Refrigerator - large (compared to the smaller fridges typically found in Paris) with separate freezer and refrigerator compartments. Not a freezer within a fridge. Something we’ve learnt through our trips to Paris, bags of ice are not typically sold in markets. Not as big of a thing as in the US, so if you like having lots of ice for beverages at home- consider bringing ice trays and a ziplock freezer bag to make your own stockpile.
Creature comforts - During our visit the temps were mid 80s for the most part. The apartment doesn’t have air conditioning but the windows and dressing do a great job at keeping cooler air in when closed. There was also a fan to use. There’s also a Bose speaker to use. If you have an iPhone with a newer plug (similar to iPhone 12), it will pop right on. It was also very convenient to have a washer and dryer. Since it was so much warmer than we initially packed for, it was nice to be able to launder our warmer weather clothes partway through the trip.
Televisions - both were equipped with cable. Obviously you’re not visiting Paris to sit in front of the TV but it’s there for when relaxing at the end of a day. Although we enjoyed opening the windows to hear “Life” outside and let in the cooler night air. I don’t think there’s Netflix readily available so if you’re interested in that, you’d want to bring your own Fire Stick or Roku, as well as an HDMI female to female adaptor in order to connect.
Plenty of electrical outlets in convenient locations throughout the apartment. Make sure you have your adapters.
Clemence is very easy to communicate with before and during your trip. Every time we had questions, she would respond. She also has a cheat sheet on the apartment amenities as well as some great tips for around the area.
Hopefully this information helps with your planning.
Thank you very much for hosting us Clemence! We absolutely enjoyed our stay here and plan to to stay again for our future visits to Paris!
