This location has an exceptional view of the Notre Dame, and is in an neighborhood that is vibrant, tourist friendly and safe.
Michel is a superb and friendly host. I was quite anxious about traveling internationally with the pandemic related restrictions, and I asked him a lot of questions because of that. He didn’t mind, and always answered promptly, in a friendly manner.
Wanted to list some things that I was curious about…
Wifi is good.
Shower temp and pressure are good, although the shower could be hazardous if you are a bigger individual, as the entrance is narrow and the floor is slippery. I’m 5’8” 250 and was fine, but if I was 50 pounds heavier, I very easily could have hurt myself.
Speaking of big people problems, the elevator does work, but the final staircase is very narrow. It can fit a large checked bag through, but it is a workout!
I didnt use the dishwasher, but I did use the washer/dryer. I was unable to figure out a way to lower dryer temp, so my clothes shrunk significantly. The water temp is easy to change, but there is no clothing rack to dry clothes. I didn’t feel like getting creative to dry clothes, so it effectively felt as though there was no washer dryer. A drying rack would be one of my biggest recommendations, although I still rated 5 stars without it
The other big recommendation would be the cleanliness. A bit of dust and un-vacuumed hair doesn’t bother me, hence my 5 star rating. However, if you are a germaphobe or a neat freak, I’d recommend bringing a pack of clorox to get up some of the dust and hair. I only wanted to state this for the tidiest of people, it really wasn’t a significant amount of dust/hair.
As for Covid testing, Pharmacie Maubert is a short walk away, and the pharmacist’s know enough english to get you through the process.
I believe that is all I have. Highly recommend, seriously, the neighborhood and view alone are worth it.
