Location is great! Across the street from
Dubillot restaurant.
A lively block. I expected action at my doorstep with many shops, bars and stores - the neighborhood delivered.
Keep in mind - you are living as a local and everyday neighborly things are going on - crying kids, loud neighbors, smoking in the courtyard, drinking in the courtyard, just typical city noise and daily life…
Something yo note: The trash cans for the complex are right in front of the apartment; so you can hear people throwing out their daily trash. One adverse effect from having trash near the apartment are gnats. We couldn’t keep the windows open because of this… And, the heat in June was difficult; when you can’t open a window in the evenings. There are fans in the bedrooms to help cool down the rooms.
Don’t feel that gnats are a problem during the fall and winter months.
The apartment is on the expensive side but considering it’s remodeled with 2-3 bedrooms (sleeper sofa) 2 bathrooms and 2 showers in Paris - it’s hard to beat or find!
Tips: leave your suitcases on the main floor - and bring up what you need on a daily basis . Trying to haul up 30-40 pound suitcases up spiral stairs to the bedrooms - is quite a chore.
-Bring your own laundry and dishwashing pods.
-There’s a days supply of shower supplies. Great blow dryer!
-If you cook in the apartment - you will need to buy all cooking supplies (oil and condiments).
-Nespresso machine available 2-3 pods on arrival.
-WiFi was strong!
Apartment was great for our short stay in Paris.
