Carlo and Melissa’s apartment is a very nice place to base yourself for a few nights, perfect for 2 people. The view from the windows is really nice, can see the Effie tower and sacre-coeur, very pretty at night.
Metro links are really easy from Carlos place, about 5 mins walk to the station and you can get anywhere in the city very easily.
Unfortunately we had a problem with check in. Carlo was out of town so asked us to pick the keys up from the Italian restaurant downstairs, we had no problems with this. Once we had collected them we then realised we had no instructions for where to find the apartment. We managed to figure out it was in one of two apartment blocks however none of the doors had numbers on them and we did not have instructions provided prior to arrival.
Eventually we went back to the Italian restaurant to ask if they knew where it was, he didn’t but very kindly helped us by asking people (we do not speak French, so could not do this ourselves) and eventually found the right one. If he hadn’t have done this, we might not have checked in at all. We also had problems checking out, I did not know what to do with the keys when we left until the host messaged us as we left, despite messaging him 15 minutes before we were due to leave. Carlos did apologise for the issues the day after we had checked in.
Despite the issues with communication we did have a really good stay in the flat which was clean and well designed.
