I’ll start by saying that the inside of the apartment looked a lot like the photos on the listing. It had everything we needed for our stay, and was a decent home base while we explored Paris.
Unfortunately there are a few things that soured the experience. You have to pick up a key from a hotel a couple of blocks away, and return the key to the same hotel when checking out. This isn’t a huge deal, but with so many hosts offering much easier check-in processes this is a bit of annoyance. The hallway from the front door is pretty dirty and not very inviting. Be warned, this place is probably not a good fit if you have accessibility challenges or are traveling with young kids/strollers as the apartment is on the third floor, up about 60 steps. This was definitely not listed in the listing and I should have paid closer attention to the previous review that mentioned it.
Overall, I don’t think I’d stay here again, but it was fine for what we needed.
