PROS:
1. Convenient location to some nearby restaurants.
2. Not too far from the Metro if public transportation is your thing
3. Yuxi is a sweetheart with a wealth of knowledge about the city
4. Room decor is beautiful with a true Parisian design scheme.
5. Good Wi-Fi
6. Cheap Uber if you’re flying to Orly Airport but if you’re flying to the other major Paris airport (I’m blanking on the name) prepare to spend a pretty Uber penny if you need an early morning flight before the Metro opens.
7. Yuxi offers perks for return visitors who book with her!
CONS:
1. Yuxi had some scheduling conflicts so the room hadn’t been cleaned upon my arrival. I dropped my belongings off and went straight out on the town anyways so it wasn’t the end of the world. By the time I got back (around 11PM) the room had been cleaned although I found hair strands in the sheets :/
2. Paris was SUPER cold during my visit (Late Oct 2021) and the heat in the room wasn’t working. Yuxi went out and bought a space heater but I found that staying bundled up while sleeping was the fastest way to keep warm.
3. Walls are very thin. The neighbors upstairs had a noisy gathering my first night there and I could hear chatter for most of the night before eventually falling asleep. The next night, a bunch of men were gathered for a while outside across the street talking and laughing loudly which could be clearly heard as well. Parisians sure know how to have a good time!
4. I’d recommend bringing your own face towels and large towels.
