Couch is filthy and uncomfortable. Used an airplane blanket as a throw so we could sit.
Beds are bad. Foam rubber on a wooden platform is what it looked and felt like.
Furnishings are not good quality, and sparse.
Just a little up from a hostel - which I haven't been in for 15 years.
Bedding not complete and old. Need a top sheet before poly bedspread.
Towels low quality, old.
TV and appliances need instructions. Couldn’t operate TV, washer, and didn’t use kitchen machines because they are foreign to non EU travelers.
Fall/Trip hazard near bath/kitchen/entrance.
Only had portable electric fans for circulation. Fresh air only from open, non-screened windows.
Not sure how one would stay cool or warm in less than ideal temps we experienced.
Even with lights out, insects - unseen, unknown, biting/stinging species - impaled each resident.
The check-in was a breeze! Never saw a human. Just picked up the key from a secure street box.
Value much less than some comparably priced 4-star hotels. (Les Jardins du Marais)
Old building with neglected common areas. Flat is third(+) floor walk up a winding staircase.
Site photos over-glamorize this rather drab flat. We slept and cleaned up here and spent our time enjoying the beauty of Paris out of doors. Adequate for our needs but comfort not as envisioned.
Thanks for your hospitality. We love the city and the people.
