We had the pleasure of staying at Arthur’s place for nine nights. Great location, only 3’ walk to the nearest metro stop (Les Gobelins/M7), and about 30’ walk to Notre Dame. The flat is part of a quiet block, in a very attractive area - lots of cafes and restaurants, bakeries, shops, pharmacies, two supermarkets just around the corner etc.
The flat definitely had a “lived in” feel which we didn’t mind, but it wasn’t as clean (or sterile) as other airbnbs we’ve stayed in along the years. Everything was provided, from toilet paper to detergent for the washing machine, as well as clear instructions with regards to where to locate the bins etc, which were very handy for a longer stay such as ours.
We only felt let down by the hosting team who sent us to the wrong location for the pickup of the key on the first day, and weren’t really apologetic about it. Communication isn’t their forte as we could see in the following days, and upon departure. Hence the four stars instead of five from us…
Overall we felt the flat was way more spacious and provided better value compared to a hotel stay in a similar area, or even other airbnbs. The small balcony was an added bonus where we enjoyed a glass of wine and the vibe of the neighbourhood in the evenings. We’d be back in a heart beat!
