First lets get the facts straight.
The photos are somewhat representative of the place. Fairly the same.
The outside of the property is fairly secure, you need a code to enter.
The inside not so much, our rooms key looked more like a toy key with a lock that could be unpicked by a 5 year old if they tried! )more on that below)
The place is actually 1 apartment split into 2 mini apartments. You hear everything and all the conversations of the people in the apartments next door.
The place is extremely small. You you have a big bag or luggage like a normal traveller, you have no where to put it without obstructing something.
There is a clothing rack. In theory its a rack, and it looks like a rack. But in reality you can barely hang anything on there. For that price you expect MUCH BETTER.
Now lets address the serious stuff.
The area is horrible. Full of gangs and dark alley ways at night and is completely unsafe. The smell of urine everywhere and homeless people sleeping everywhere.
Its close to “restaurants and cafes” but are they the places you want to hang around? I dont think so but each to their own.
Now. I would like to talk about One shocking event during our stay.
We came back to our room on our last day only to find our door is completely open!!! I cant tell if anything was stolen yet. But its pretty scary .
We contact the people running the property. But they kept repeating one message to us “you are the only person who had the code”
Let us be clear, you only need a code to enter the main building.
You need no codes to get into the apartment. Only a simple basic cheap key.
Then they told us we maybe forgot to lock the door. But in fact we made a special effort to check and double check they door was locked because we heard people in the building and the apartment next door and there was cleaners in the building.
Even lets assume hypothetically the door was unlocked. FOR CERTAIN we didnt leave the door open.
It feel like maybe the owners let people in? I wouldn't want to point fingers or accuse anyone.
But to finish off. I would not recommend this place and I would advise anyone to stay somewhere else. I wouldnt stay here for free.
There are 1000000 other places in paris that are better, safer, cleaner and cheaper.
In here youre not safe outside and not safe inside.
