Chloé's place was charming, perfectly sized for 2, and located in a great part of town.
Reaching the apartment was very direct from the Airport, requiring only one transfer from the RER B at Gare du Nord. From Strasbourg-Saint-Denis, the apartment is only a 5 min walk. Along the way you'll pass bustling restaurants and a variety of grocery stores for a post check-in stop. The apartment itself is located on the ground floor 0, so accessibility is convenient especially for guests with heavy luggage. The apartment is close to the front apartment complex door, but I didn't have an issue with noise.
For a good time out you don't have to walk far. Within a few minutes any direction, you'll find packed packed bars and restaurants spilling into the street. Popular destinations such as Les Halles, The Louvre, Le Marais among a few, are within a 15-40 min walk. Being summer, I personally loved walking everywhere—it also makes you feel even better about all the croissants and baguettes you inevitably consume (although, no shame, am I right?!). Don't feel like walking as much? Fear not! Multiple metros are within 3-7 min walk depending on your destination.
I did have a problem with wifi. It wasn't working when I arrived, and wasn't able to be fixed during my stay. After management's first attempt didn't work, Chloé reached out to me personally to get the situation fixed. While timing didn't work out, Chloé's communications were kind, sincere, and professional. That was enough to make me feel a little better about the situation. I have no doubt that it's fixed for her future guests!
If you like to "cook at home" or have a coffee first thing, I recommend stocking up on coffee pods and groceries at the stores nearby—literally between 30 seconds or 2 minutes from the front door :) Don't forget to grab some extra napkins or paper towels. If you like ice for the summer you're in luck! She has a sweet ice tray which I've found to be less common in european freezers in general.
THANK YOU, Chloé, for your hospitality! I had a wonderful stay and hope to stay here again on a future visit!
