The washing machine has a built-in dryer feature, but when we were there it was not working. I communicated with the host and she promptly reminded me that she had already communicated that in the description of the room. Since we reserved the apartment a year in advance, either it was a new development that I missed a communication or it has been a problem for a year that has not been resolved. There is a laundromat around the corner with large dryers, so it is inconvenient but not much of a burden.
The location is fantastic. You are close to different metro lines and the RER as well as walking distance to many of the major sights. There are cafes, creperies and grocery stores all close by.
The entry and exit take a little time the first go, but after that you'll be a pro. I felt very safe there. There is plenty of space to relax in the apartment and plenty around to take up your time.
