We booked Thibault's apartment for a work trip to Paris. So the context is that we did not spend a great deal of time at the flat other than for some good night sleeps.
Here are the pluses:
+The neighborhood is great. We felt safe both at night and in the early morning hours. Our neighbors were nice.
+We were surrounded by local cafes, a nail salon and a well-stock grocery shop. Plenty of fruit we bought!
+Short distance (and nice too) walk to 3 different metro stations. Just FYI, as most of the time Uber's cost beats the metro, for 2 riders.
+The flat is nice and comfy, contains everything we needed (except for the washing machine).
+Matress/bed is comfy and we slept like babies
+Thibault responsed very quickly to any questions we had so we were in good hands.
And a few quirks:
-Expect the floor to creak. This is an old building, like any other building in Paris.
-Expect the kitchen is not a pro/mom level kitchen. It is more like one of my student time, really. You can heat things up, some simple noodle stir-fry, make some tea etc. However, an elaborate feast will cause you pain. For our case, we loved Parisian baguette too much, we didn't even touch the hob.
-Shower head needs proper wall fixing please. We had to hold the shower head the entire showering time. The weather was not so cold yet so it was fine. But ...
A tip for the next guests, there is a towel warming machine in the shower room. Turn it on if you need to warm the room up a bit before jumping in the shower.
So, all in all, we enjoyed our stay. We hope you feel the same, fellow open-minded travellers who find charms and humour in the imperfection of places (to a certain extent, of course)
Thanks Thibault for hosting us
Would like to stay again
