Let's start with positives:
- the apartment was very clean and spacious
- close to couple of attractions including Notre dame and Center Pompiduo (modern art) is next door
- close to restaurants, grocery store and shops
- close to public transport
- equipped kitchen - ready for cooking
Few things to consider
- if you are travelling with a stroller or a big bag , the stairs and elevator and super tiny so we had to leave the stroller downstairs in common area, it didn't get stolen so that was good
- if you are coming to this apartment from Garu Du Nord station, the nearest station is a good 10-15min walk. We had asked the host to guide if there was a better route but we were instructed to use citymapper and figure it out :)
- no storage facility after checkout. Again the host asked us to use internet luggage storage service which charged us 40€ for 2 bags - wish i knew earlier that there was a cheaper option of nannybag.
- not entirely fault of the Host but the wifi was not working on first day resulting in 60£ data usage that i had to pay - i had no option but to do that to plan for the following day
- the sofa bed was broken so 1 of us had to sleep on the FLOOR.
Both the issues were fixed on 2nd day.
- we did not meet the host, you go to a random cafe and collect the key, its a 5-7 min walk. It was a hassle for 4 of us to walk with luggage and baby. Wish this was easier.
Overall, we liked the apartment but the issues we faced and additional costs incurred made our stay slightly disappointing and expensive.
Enjoy Paris. It's beautiful :)
