This apartment was great for half of our stay in Paris. The listing is 100% accurate, but there are some things any guest will want to know.
The good:
- The location is really great, and we felt walkable to great locations as well as train stops
- The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed
- The check-in process was INCREDIBLE. There was a very detailed document that had pictures of the key box, the building, the doors, and all of the navigation details.
- The bed and couch were super comfortable
The good-to-know:
- This apartment is very small. The pictures online are all there is of the apartment. This really wasn't a problem for just the two of us, but if you have more than 2 people it would be tight.
- There was really not a lot of hot water. I think it's pretty typical of Paris apartments, but there was a total of 12-15 minutes of warm water available at any one time, so it was tough for two people to shower right after each other.
- There are a FEW shelves and hangers to put clothes, but our trip was 2 weeks long and included a wedding so we had more clothes than a typical traveler would have. It became a bit difficult with the small space to organize our stuff. I recommended to the host to add a folding luggage rack so guests could leave their things in a suitcase without having to get down on the floor to get stuff out.
- There is a combined laundry washer/dryer in the unit. It was GREAT to have that convenience, but for folks from the US or other countries where combined units are not typical, it operates very differently from what you're used to. Don't hesitate to use a translation app to understand what all the options are.
All in all, the apartment was great for what we needed, and Joie was PHENOMENAL to interact with. They were a great host.
