Our group (3 adult friends) had a wonderful time staying at this apartment, in an incredibly well-located yet peaceful part of Paris. We found it amazing that the area could be so quiet (even on a bank holiday), even though a major sight like the Eiffel Tower is just a short walk away. The apartment is small, as should be expected before booking, but sensible planning around which suitcase to take means that you can get along just fine. A skinny sofa serves as a bed (big enough for an adult, but please bear in mind our friend is a slim female); a spacious bed for two comes down from the ceiling but is unobtrusive when put away.
For amenities, there is a small but spacious fridge (fine for a few days!); shampoo, conditioner and body wash; a hairdryer, and other items which guests should find useful. There are also plenty of plug sockets for charging your devices after a busy day of sightseeing!
A few tips from me:
- Walk as much as you can! Paris is a destination best explored on foot; we made it to the tower, to the Champs Elysées, to the Louvre and various other museums without ever needing to use the metro. Of course, if you want to go further afield (or simply prefer to travel underground), the stations are very close by.
- Head down a couple of the little streets near the apartment for a wonderful meal. 4 minutes away on foot you'll find Le Petit Cler, a popular and affordable restaurant for a spot of French dining; by morning, stroll a little further for breakfast at Le Recrutement Cafe and a dazzling view of the Eiffel Tower as it peeks out from behind buildings!
We sincerely had a lovely stay at this apartment, and would strongly recommend it for couples or a small group of close friends who are looking for a fantastic location from which to explore this lovely city, and to simply rest their head at night. Thank you to the hosts for having us!
