The home was sparkling clean and in a beautiful neighborhood. It had a pleasant garden overlook and was very quiet -- a perfect stay location. It is also very close to the Alesia metro stop. Indeed, "calme et charmant."
Our check-in experience was unfortunately rather unpleasant. We were on time for the arranged check-in to meet Alina to collect the keys at the building, but she was extremely terse with us. She rushed us in, made us feel like we were intruding, and left abruptly. It put a sour note on the arrival.
My partner and I had limited internet access during our trip, so we were delayed in responding to our host's messages about check-in and check-out. If you are staying here, please note that the hosts will want to know in advance what time you plan to check and check out. So, you will have to find WiFi somewhere outside the home to anticipate these messages.
As for amenities, the listing says there are cooking supplies at the home, but clear rules in the home's guidebook tell you only use these in an emergency, to replace them when used, and to always buy your own cooking supplies. This was not in line with our expectations given the listed amenities for the home, which included salt, pepper, and oil. In addition, there was only one full-size towel and one smaller towel for 2 people.
Aside from these issues, the place was a very good value and a wonderful respite from beautiful, bustling, Paris.
