This place was really great as a “home base” for me to come back after weekend trips around Europe. I stayed for about 1.5 months and I’d say for Paris it was reasonably priced.
It’s very well equipped and even though it’s small, it feels very cozy and I ended up feeling at home there. The location is really great; it’s a 2 minute walk to one of Paris’s main train/subway stations which made it easy to get around. The area feels secure 24/7 because it’s always busy, but you can’t hear the street noise from the apartment.
A couple of things to keep in mind, as other reviewers pointed out:
- the apartment looks bigger in the pictures, but it wasn’t too small either
- there’s an asian restaurant downstairs, so the entrance smells (not necessarily bad) a bit; I could never smell it from the apartment (give the restaurant a try! I liked it)
- neighbors can be pretty loud in the mornings when opening and closing doors, and noise travels quite easily so if you’re a light sleeper this might be an issue
- the kitchen is well equipped, but it missed some basic stuff (like measuring cups and scissors)
- the pillows are not comfortable and they’re pretty small
I pointed most of these things out to the owner, and he seemed pretty open to my suggestions, so by the time you book here maybe some of these won’t be an issue!
I would 100% stay here again!
