Théo’s place is absolutely lovely for a short trip to Paris! A beautifully modern apartment with a great shared terrace was a perfect base camp for our touring trip. The entrance may look a little run down but the apartment itself is beautiful, extremely clean and well kept. As other reviews have said, there is a trick to opening and closing the door but once you get the hang of it it’s absolutely no bother.
The apartment is in a perfect location for a tourist trip with supermarkets, bus stops and metro stations a short walk away. The Eiffel Tower is visible from the street outside the apartment and there are plenty of lovely restaurants a short walk away too. The area is also nice and relaxed and away from the loud hustle and bustle across the river.
We used the apartment as a base for the ten days we were there so I can’t speak much about neighbors as we weren’t there most of the day. The apartment has a quite large private bathroom with full shower which is a big plus as many Paris apartment buildings only offer shared bathroom facilities. There is a small kitchen with cutlery, plates and glasses, a microwave, coffee machine (not sure what type as I don’t drink coffee, small pods?) small hob with pot and frying pan and fridge also.
The apartment also has very good WiFi which was great for messaging home and the tv is equipped with Netflix and YouTube too for those times you just want a quiet evening in. There is a sizable wardrobe with plenty of shelf space and built in trouser hanging and shoe storage too!
This was the first time I had ever slept on a Murphy bed and I am very impressed! The bed was very comfortable and sturdy and I slept very well on it.
This apartment doesn’t come with air conditioning and unfortunately for us Paris had a bit of a heatwave during our stay so we decided to buy a tower fan to keep on at night to help us sleep but other than that our stay was absolutely perfect!
This apartment is great value for money to me in a city that can end up being quite costly. It is modern, spotless clean and it is in a perfect location. Théo was a great host, so easy to contact and was kind enough to allow us to store our bags before check in as our flight was early so we could explore the city until the check in time.
I think anyone looking to spend some time in Paris should definitely think about staying at Théo’s place!!
