We've just returned from our stay in Emon's flat. First, the good: the apartment is in a terrific location, very central, easy to walk and/or travel by Metro to just about any place you might hope to visit in Paris. Now, the rest: I would describe the flat as quirky, well-lived in, in need of amenities, like towels and more than one set of keys. There are many many stairs to reach the flat and then, once inside, additional stairs to reach the upper floor, and the stairs are steep and slippery. The stairs were so tricky I didn't even bring my suitcase upstairs but just left it in the living room the whole time. The beds are not especially comfortable and could use real pillows. The furniture is all quite worn and the photos make things look a bit more glamorous than they actually are. We expected a certain amount of luxury based on the photos and the description which were absolutely not there. The rest of the apartment does not correspond to the photos of the living room. We felt we were paying for the location much more than we were paying for the appointments of the apartment itself. Nonetheless, the apartment was interesting, Emon was a gracious host, and, again, the location was terrific.
