This is a true find in Paris. If you like to have some space and not feel like you're in a city, this house is an 11 on a scale of 10 for Charm. When the subways are running (we were there during the strike), it's so accessible. We used a lot of ubers and they were always within 5 minutes away, and most areas were within a 10 minute drive. There is also a taxi stand in Place d'italia, about a 5 minute walk away. We only needed to do that early on New Years Day, all other days there were taxis around and available ubers. We also walked to the 5th a lot. The neighborhood has lots of shops nearby, great markets almost everyday, and lots of restaurants.
Taking into consideration that this is in Paris, it is a great value and very spacious. It is a house that has been lived in, and that means great and not ideal things. The kitchen is well equipped. Cooking is no problem. But, there is a lot of stuff in the house, meaning no closet room.
Wifi is strong.
And, for the sake of accuracy, the TV does not work.
I always do a detailed description for those who need more info, so here goes:
The street is open to pull up in front of the house and drop off luggage. There is no parking on the street. Ubers can also come to the house. There is a small set of stairs to the front door, after entering, there is a spacious entrance with the first of two toilets.
Another small set of stairs takes you to the main floor of the house. To the right, you enter the dining room. There is a table that seats 6 and a piano. There are large windows that look out onto the small backyard. This room is very light and comfortable. It is open to the kitchen which is very spacious, especially for Paris standards. The fridge is large and clean, a small oven, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. I couldn't get the dryer to work (probably my lack of French), but there is a clothes drying rack, and with the heaters on, everything dried overnight. Lots of dishes, pots, pans, everything you need.
On the other side of the dining room is the living room with a sofa bed and a chair, and a beanbag. The room has a lot of furniture in it, so it's a little cramped, but has lots of light. We had 5 people at one time, so when we were all there, someone had to sit on the floor.
The stairs are wide and have a railing. The second floor has a bathroom with only a sink and a bathtub. There are some shelves that are empty for storage.
The master bedroom is a little cramped, but comfortable, and no closet space. It has a desk in front of the window. There are two more rooms, also with no closet space. There is another bathroom with the 2nd toilet, sink and a very good shower. All beds are doubles, as listed, not queens (sometimes when hosts say doubles, they mean queens). These are doubles.
All rooms have windows, so they are all very light. Even the shower has a skylight.
We would definitely consider renting this house again.
