The unit is in a spectacular location! The location alone in the Latin Quarter with easy access to public transportation and cafes/restaurants within feet of the unit deserves 7 stars! The unit also has some period-specific finishes which are quite charming and the upstairs loft balcony has a view of Notre Dame! While we didn’t use the kitchen for cooking, it was a very nice perk to have as was the downstairs powder room as a second toilet.
Praises aside, there are some criticisms which I believe are fair. First, the unit was dusty and in need of a deep cleaning. There was mold around the shower enclosure and the inside washer/dryer unit. Also, the washer/dryer is a very small combination unit and you will essentially have to hang dry your clothing. Unfortunately, the retractable drying line provided wasn’t operable. The pillows and mattresses are past their lifespan and sleep quality wasn’t the best. Same goes for linens and towels which should be replaced.
Not a criticism but guests should know that they will need to be quite agile to navigate the very narrow, steep 3 flights of stairs to the unit. This will be difficult if you are carrying bulky luggage! Would not recommend renting if you are elderly or have very very small children.
In all, unit is in a phenomenal location! A real gem that is just in need of some refinement.
