We booked this accommodation largely due to its proximity to Gare du Nord/Gare de l’Est. The location worked well for us for this reason, however we were generally quite disappointed with the apartment
Pros:
- Close to Colonel Fabien metro and the major railway stations
- Good communication pre and during stay
- Washing machine and iron
- Check in was easy - key pick up from a shop close by
- Bed was a pull out but had been set up and was comfortable
Cons:
- No wifi
- Full of the owner’s belongings including on the back of doors, so there was no cupboard space / drawers etc to place any of our things
- The only soap was 3x very small sachets of liquid soap, which was insufficient for us (a couple) staying for 2 nights for showers/general hand washing, so we had to buy a bar of soap ourselves
- There was no dishwashing liquid, and 3x old discoloured scourers for washing dishes
- There was a leak where the shower head connected with the hose. This meant water sprayed everywhere (from the leak) and we had to hold the shower head in our hand as if we put it in the holder, the bathroom became very wet. It also meant the pressure from the shower head itself was very low
- No fan/ air conditioning
- General cleanliness could be improved
- Pillows were very thin
