This place is a little strange, but it was very nice! I only needed a room overnight, so it might be a little different for a longer stay.
The key had to be picked up from a local store, which closed at 10 PM. My train was late getting in and I couldn’t get there in time. The host’s only suggestion was to ask if I had someone else I could ask to get it for me. Luckily I did, but if I didn’t know anyone else in Paris I don’t know what she would have done to get me the key.
This rental is just one tiny room, at the top of four very long flights of stairs, which was a pain with my heavy suitcase. But the space is comfortable and clean, and designed very efficiently. The toilet and shower are inside the closet! It was weird, but they worked fine and it was a creative use of the space. And the building is very centrally located.
