Pros:
- Great location close to multiple metro lines
- Good communication with the host
- Smooth check-in with a concierge service
- Self-controlled heating which made it nice and warm during our winter stay
- Overall well stocked kitchen (frying pan, dishes, cutlery) enabling us to cook
- Quiet (no street noise or loud neighbours)
Cons:
- Funny smell in the apartment that persisted for our entire 7-day stay
- The bathroom directly adjoins to the bedroom, and there is no vent or window in the bathroom or* the bedroom, which made it quite stuffy and uncomfortable at times
- We found the bed very uncomfortable (the mattress is extremely thin), and since we could not move it away from the mirrored wall due to the small size of the room, it felt extra small and claustrophobic
- One of us tried sleeping on the couch, but this was not possible as it is highly uncomfortable and there is no second set of linens
- The microwave was not functioning
- Space is smaller than what we expected based on the pictures, and a little bit more run down
Overall this was a functional apartment for our 7 day stay, but for the price we paid we did not feel it was very good value. Paris is an expensive city, but we expected a better experience based on the description and pictures. We would not stay again for the price that we paid, but otherwise it is an acceptable home with an amazing location.
