I have been many times in Paris. This time, my trip was not so planed as others. So, when I looked for an apartement in Paris 5th, near the place where my work meetings would be, the only apartment I found was Ulisses’s. I found it expensive in comparison with my other experiences, but as we were in a rush, we took it.
Ulisses was very kind, he sent all the information and when I asked for two sets of keys, since my collegue and I had different schedules, he took care of it. We made the check in by ourselves, it may seem there is a lot of instructions, buy if you follow them, they are simple.
The apartment is located Quartier Mouffetard, a very, very nice place, full of restaurants. There are also Franprix et Monoprix very near, and a market in Place Monge. Metro and bus very near also. Even if the Quartier Mouffetard has a lot of activity at night, the apartment is very quiet.
As I am near my 60’s, I must say that there are many steps to the 3d floor, and I was happy my colleague was young and could take up the luggage, and then down. I could not have done it myself.
The apartment itself was clean and had all we needed. But, in my opinion, the apartment is good for a couple (maybe with a baby) or one person, since it is relatively small. We needed an extra mattress and Ulisse provided it, but it was very, very thin, so we think the mattress could be for a child, but it is not comfortable for an adult. Even with a good mattress, it would be difficult, because of the small space.
The bed is wide, but the mattress was not firm enough for my back. If you are “picky”, towels and blankets could be newer.
Ulisse was very nice with us and answered all our questions. In general, this was a good experience, if we do not take into consideration the extra mattress so thin, the many steps, or the small size of the apartment. I guess the price changes depending on the season and depending on the time in advance you make your reservation. I would take it again if I went alone or with my husband.
