Clemence's place was perfectly located, quiet, and a great size. The coffee maker and availability of cookware/utensils/etc. made it great for breakfasts before heading out for a long day of sightseeing.
A few comments about the space, both good and bad, depending on the people visiting.
- The location is perfect. You really can walk to everything from the locale - nothing is more than a mile if you want to walk everywhere (and close to metro/bus lines).
- Clemence was super responsive whenever we had a question. We didn't get an opportunity to meet her, but she responded almost instantaneously whenever we had a question. She also gave us extra time after check out because our flight was later.
- The apartment is fully lived in, not just a rental spot, i.e., it is full of stuff! This was interesting to see how real Parisians live, but might throw some people off if they're not expecting it. This also means there isn't a lot of storage if you're staying more than a few days.
- The space looks different than the pictures - there are lots of kids toys now, the rooms are set up differently (moved couches, bed is low to the ground and against the wall, and the bathroom is different- as other reviews say - you won't be standing for your shower).
- A previous tenant or resident is a smoker. You can't really tell from the smell of the space alone, but the linens/towels/pillows obviously smell like smoke. This was probably the biggest negative for us.
- There is no AC (like most places in Paris). It was fine for us because it wasn't too hot, but it might be a bigger deal in the heat of the summer (being on the 4.5th floor).
