This apartment was absolutely perfect for our needs, and Eric was extremely kind and easy to communicate with throughout our stay!
The location of the place is within 5-10 minutes from metro lines that will get you anywhere in the city you need to go. The neighborhood is great (and largely the reason we chose this apartment). You’ll be just a short walk away from of the city’s most beautiful sights. The apartment’s location on the ground floor of the building made it the perfect place for my mother who has mild mobility problems and has trouble climbing large amounts of stairs. Eric made the entry instructions easy to understand, and was quick to respond the one time we had a bit of an issue getting into the building (which was not his fault—other building residents we met were having the same issue we were at the same time), and we were able to get back in right away. The place was clean, tidy, and stocked with the essentials we needed to be comfortable. My parents were especially happy as this was their first Airbnb experience and my dad’s first time in Paris at all.
As other reviews have mentioned, the spiral stairs do not have rails, but that wasn’t really ever an issue as there’s plenty to hold on to on the way down. The hot water gets very, very hot, which we really liked, but guests with young children might want to know this and be watchful just in case. We stayed in late September, so we had no need for air conditioning (which I believe the apartment isn’t equipped with anyway) or heating at all. It was just right. This was truly a very enjoyable stay for us all, and my parents can be quite particular, so if they liked it, that says a lot!
