My wife and I stayed here for a full month as part of a longer European trip we were taking. As a result, we got to know the area really well and even developed friendships with local restaurant and shop owners.
The location is unbeatable and for a fast paced sightseeing trip to Paris this place is perfect. Obviously the Eiffel Tower is right around the corner and my wife and I did frequent picnics at the Champ de Mars. There is an M8 line metro station just a short walk away which can connect you to almost anywhere you need to go including the major train stations which we used to visit other cities during our stay. There are countless restaurants, grocery stores, and of course sightseeing activities all within walking distance or just a short bus ride with several bus stations that are only a hundred meters from the front door.
As frequent travelers, we have had our fair share of interesting accommodations and don’t let much bother us as a result. But as a heads up, be warned that at least in our experience, this place is dirty…really dirty considering there was a €60 cleaning fee. The longer we stayed there the more we noticed it and while we certainly would never let that ruin a trip, it is something you want to be aware of! The check in process is also a bit odd since the “owner” who communicates with you through Airbnb is not the individual meeting you at the apartment. However, the woman who met us was incredibly kind and spoke pretty good English and got us checked in and checked out in no time!
Lastly, be warned, especially if you are coming from America, that most exterior doors will lock automatically behind you so always be sure to have the key…if not there is a lock smith around the corner but this is a €115 mistake we wish we had avoided!
Overall, we had a lovely time and while there are some areas of this place that could be improved, for the price and location it is tough to beat and we thoroughly enjoyed our extended stay!
