Pros: The location of Chris’s place is generally great-a short walk to the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe. Plus, there is a cute street market right outside the front door. The decor was simple and cute, and the blow dryer worked great.
Cons: Since the market is right out front, a very strong fishy smell permeates the hall and all areas outside the apartment. Having the smell of fresh fish smack you in the face as soon as you open the door isn’t the most pleasant start to the day. The beds were both pretty hard and uncomfortable-one of us had to sleep on the couch in order to sleep well. The shower is only slightly larger than a postage stamp-it is by far the smallest shower any of us had ever seen. There was a Nespresso, but no Nespresso pods.
Overall, I don’t think we would stay here again, but it was a decent option for the price.
