Eric’s apartment is in a very nice location in the Latin Quarter. It’s a super quiet residential street, so we sometimes felt like we were “intruding” because you have to be very very quiet in the apartment building.
The view is exactly as advertised, and we had a lovely time drinking wine on the back patio as well. You can’t see the Eiffel from the bed, just the couch.
The apartment really is a studio, very small, which was perfectly fine for two people. There were additional linens, towels and most importantly pillows provided in the closet.
The apartment itself was lovely, but a few small touches would have really made it excellent:
There is no full length mirror anywhere, which made getting ready to go out annoying.
We didn’t get any recommendations or little extras. Some coffee pods, paper towels, hand soap in the toilet or even a note of nearby restaurants/grocery stores would have been much appreciated.
The apartment was pretty clean, but a couple things needed a proper scrubbing, and a load of laundry had been left in the dryer. We couldn’t find detergent or instructions to do a load of laundry ourselves.
Getting into the apartment itself is quite a process. Eric’s instructions were very clear, it is just something to note.
Overall, the view is gorgeous, the Eiffel Tower is within walking distance (along with a few metro stops) and you just can’t beat that in Paris.
