Ines’ apartment is a short walk 10 minute walk to arc de Triomphe and in a lovely upscale and quiet residential neighbourhood.
The apartment is also walking distance to other major Paris sights and 4 minute walk from the Argentine metro station making travel around Paris easy.
Our check-in was simple and the building has an elevator which is great for getting up to the 4th floor.
The apartment is a little smaller than the photos but still large and more than enough space for 2 of us. The space has lovely Parisian herringbone floors, fireplace, crown mouldings and 2 large double pane windows that open to a picturesque view and make for a good photo op looking out on a romantic Paris street. The bed is nice and there are seats and a small couch to lounge on.
These details make the property worth a stay but it deserves some simple touches to elevate the experience.. the wifi password was unbelievable long, don’t mess it up or you’ll be re-typing your college essay over and over again. Many lights in the flat were burnt out, in the daytime this is not an issue since so much light come flooding in through the windows but the bathroom feels dark and so do other areas at night.
The washer was a great plus but a small page with instructions would have made the process much simpler as I always just pressed random buttons to get it to work.
As would a more thoughtful guest book as you would see in other Airbnb’s.
Minimal towels were provided, a better ironing board could be handy as well.
The decor was ok but could be elevated to give it a modern or classic touch.
