A beautifully simple apartment with everything you need, and more. For some context, I was 53 when I took this trip and have travelled extensively for business and with my family....coming on a trip to Paris on my own is a new thing....and I was excited to see how this would go.
So, about the room - it feels like a college dorm room, which I loved. Quite small, which encourages you to get out and explore. The shower works but it's somewhat entertaining to use, I'll leave it at that. Nice, quiet building. Very friendly neighbors. I would stay here again if I was traveling alone (no way with a second person, too small). I felt very safe here, too.
Check in process - Olivia is lovely and very helpful. We met to do the key handoff and all was good. I was definitely jet lagged (from America) and didn't realize that although the listing has the street address as #7, it's actually #8....so late in my first evening I couldn't get back in the building (tried to go into 8). After emailing Olivia, it took a bit, she let me know that I should actually be going to building 7....and things worked swimmingly from there.
Finally, and what really makes this a great place to stay. I walked a lot over 3 days here (over 60 miles) and I don't think you can find a better location to walk Paris...no matter where you want to go. It is amazing! Incredible value for the money. If I ever come back to Paris alone (fingers crossed), I will be looking to stay in this room again.
