We enjoyed the modern environment. The countertop space was nice in the kitchen. The sofa in the living room was a great place to relax. The loft area with the bed was charming. The stairs were in tune with the modern atmosphere but are very steep, as shown in the pictures. The location is AMAZING right by the metro, easy to get the RER to/from the airport, there is a grocery store close, and it's right near all sorts of tourist attractions. We did experience a plumbing problem while we were there. We reported the sewer smell coming from somewhere in the bathroom. The host had us get Febreeze and offered to reimburse us, but the problem wasn't fixed during our short stay. Even so, I would LOVE to stay there again. It was just fabulous! and the people from the company that gave us the key were helpful. They had great suggestions about the area.
