Alina's place has some plus and some minus sides.
Let's start w the positive first:
- Alina is a great and quick communicator. Always fast to respond and ready to help. She's a lovely lady who speaks perfect English.
- The place is in a super location: close to the 1 metro, many of the main tourist attractions and loads of restaurants and food options.
- The bed is very comfortable.
- It's quiet. No traffic sounds and barely any noise from neighbors.
Negative:
- the space is much much smaller than pictured. I would not call this an apartment, more like a spot to put your bags down and sleep.
- there's a certain smell that I still can't place. It wasn't agreeable...
- there's one small heater for the entire place and it doesn't do the job. The room never got warmer than 64F which is not acceptable in the dead of winter.
- I think it's too expensive for what it is. Compared to other places I've stayed in Paris, I would say this was the least value for my money.
I would recommend this place for 1 or 2 people who have a heavy duty agenda and don't need to spend much time at "home". The location is what sells it. The rest is iffy.
