Rémi te Elisa ‘s apartment was exactly as advertised, much more spacious than we expected, and in a great neighborhood. It was in a university neighborhood; so, as we stayed over the holidays, it was amazingly quiet and peaceful, but still within easy walking distance to all the main sightseeing in Paris! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, but there were a few things to note:
The heater wasn’t working while we were there or was improperly set to very very low (and not being familiar with the boiler system it was controlled by, we did not know how and were not comfortable changing the settings to see what worked). It took until late the next day before a response regarding how to fix this arrived, and even after, it still wasn’t quite right in the apartment. Luckily, the weather turned and warmed up, so it wasn’t too much of an issue.
Otherwise, the apartment is lovely, the bed and couch very comfortable for sleeping, and the shower is fantastic (waterfall shower head!). The stairs really weren’t an issue for us (and were a lovely form of exercise to counteract all the phenomenal French bread we were eating ;)
We would happily recommend the apartment to anyone staying in Paris!
