Our stay at Juan Carlos was great. The apartment is located in the old seamstress district and sprinkles of fabrics stores and the like are scattered around the area.
The apartment itself is small but it had everything we could ever need. Bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and stocked and the wine he left us was fantastic. Want to wash clothes? He has a washing machine and laundry detergent. (We didn’t use it) you can take your clothes down the block to dry if needed.
The key retrieval was very easy and I liked that he had at least 3 plans to help us retrieve the key.
The only down side is the entry from the lobby up to the apartment is very dark and steep, not a big deal going up to the apartment you can turn on the stairs light but their is no light to turn on going down.
It’s an old building (the apartment seems to have been upgraded) and the stairs are uneven so it can get tricky.
We found a great French restaurant up the block called Cuisine et Dépendances (literally like 10 steps away) with great options and budget friendly.
The location is close to train lines. Walk from Train line coming in from CDG is long but the train line to Trocadero and other areas is 2 blocks away, I suggest taking the St. Dennis stop in case you don’t have tickets you can easily buy them at this station. The Bonne Nouevelle station which is closest, doesn’t sell tickets in the station.
I’d stay here again and will recommend it to friends traveling to Paris.
