I must preface this by stating that this may be a unique situation, but it was our experience nevertheless.
We arrived at Lola's apartment to find that the arranged key to be left in a nearby shop had not been left. Lola was uncontactable for many hours after our check in which grew increasing more frustrating. Without a message and no key we were forced to go to alternate accomodation for the night. About 16 hours after our original check in time Lola finally messaged saying she had little reception where she was. Stating that the key was supposed to be left in the shop by the previous guests but had not. Thankfully she was kind enough to refund us the previous nights stay without hesitation. It was frustrating and anxious for us to be in a foreign city without proper contact to the host.
Overall Lola's apartment is the perfect base to explore Paris. Located in the centre of the Marais within easy walking or metro distance from all of Paris' main attractions.
Located on the 5th floor without a lift, be prepared to save a little energy after a long day to make it up the stairs. The apartment is spacious with two rooms and a tight bathroom (which doesn't vent that well). The bedroom and living/kitchen are open and bright with windows opening out to a lovely balcony beyond, a real gem in the Marais. In the summer months this apartment is hot, with a fan providing some relief, but to be expected in European apartments. The apartment has all the amenities, pots, pans, plates etc. that you would need to have a comfortable stay and cook your own meals.
Despite the start of our stay being rocky, we enjoyed Lola's space very much and it provided a very Parisian feeling base for our stay.
