It’s a tricky one. The communication with the company that manages the flat was super-efficient. The check-in was very easy and as arranged. All great. The flat is also in a very good location (close to La Republique and not too far from Marais). The flat was very clean.
But the flat itself was a little disappointing in relation to how much is being charged for it. I know it’s Paris and everything is small and expensive but even so, this didn’t feel like value for money. It’s very small. More importantly though, the flat has been converted from a bigger one (again, not unusual for Paris). But the conversion hasn’t been done very well. The flat is very noisy – you can hear the neighbours very loudly, both in the lounge and in the bedroom. It was quite difficult to sleep. I’d suggest investing in some earplugs. The bedroom window (right next to the bed) goes out straight onto one of the building’s staircases so you can hear people walking very often (pretty much right next to your head). The small window in the shower is not blacked out so the whole bedroom lights up whenever someone puts on a light on the staircase (especially annoying on the weekend when this goes on all night). Maybe sorting this out and re-arranging the bedroom layout a bit would help.
Not a bad experience at all but maybe it’s worth to keep the above in mind.
