Overall, this apartment was lovely, in a safe neighborhood with easy access to the Metro, grocery store, and restaurants within walking distance. It was clean, with a lovely decor, and the perks of a dishwasher and washer and dryer for your clothes. That being said, there are a few pros and cons to the apartment that I would like to share.
Pros: The apartment is in the 3rd Arrondissement right in the Marais. There are two Metros within walking distance - Temple and Republique. If you plan on taking the Metro all over Paris, I would highly recommend downloading the Paris Metro App on your phone. The Mono prix (grocery store) is within a 5 minute walk as are little cafes and restaurants. The street itself, Rue de Notre Dame de Nazareth, is a one way street and pretty quiet and as far as I can tell, a safe neighborhood. The apartment itself is clean, looks just like it does in the pictures. The kitchen is pretty well equipped for cooking. There is a dishwasher in the kitchen and a washer/dryer for clothes. The bedroom is comfortable as is the pullout bed in the living room. The bathroom is very clean and includes a nice showerhead. Alexandre's Paris contact, Armand, will be your main contact for your stay. Ask Alexandre for his Whats App contact info so you can get in touch with him right before your visit. He is extremely responsive and very helpful and friendly.
Cons: We couldn't get inside the door on our first day there because the code we were given has long been replaced. Luckily, Armand was in the building and was able to meet us and let us in. There was some confusion with guests departing the same day we were arriving. Checkout was supposed to be 11 am and check in at noon. The guests departing before us did not vacate the building until noon and when we arrived at 12:30 pm, their suitcases were still there and not meant to be picked up until 1:30pm. This left us with no other choice but to leave our suitcases and make plans for the afternoon instead of being able to rest a little. The apartment is also on the 3rd floor. There is no elevator in the building and it is SIX flights of stairs to get to the 3rd floor. The stairs are curvy and the steps are very narrow. I was traveling with two of my children who are 13 and 11 and we traveled light so the stairs were not an issue for us but may be for others. There are only four towels in the apartment. If you think you will need more, ask Alexandre if possible to have more or bring your own.
