Ilana’s place is very beautifully decorated and tastefully designed. Worked very well with the space (it is definitely a small area, but worked fine for two of us. Just make sure if you are traveling with a partner you are close). It doesn’t have great airflow unless you open up the grated cover and the window to the outside, my boyfriend notes that it was pretty hot and stuffy inside when we would come back with these being closed all day. Having the grate down also makes the room very dim, which is actually quite nice if you like to sleep in. Noise level didn’t bother us even though you are on the ground floor next to the street, but we are both heavy sleepers. Walls are pretty thin though. Only issues were the hot water, because there wasn’t enough (take short showers, wait in between showers) and the kitchen did not have the full amenities (no oil, no pepper, only salt). Ilana was very quick to respond to our questions and was super helpful. Check in was a breeze, we had a day-of booking due to last minute change of plans causing us to stay in Paris longer than we intended. Ilana was very kind and easy to reach during this. Location is very very nice, close to my favorite area in Paris, Rue Oberkampf! And there are so many fantastic places to eat only a few minutes walk away.
