THEFT ALERT! Our flat was broken into on our last night, our things were rummaged through and some personal items were stolen including a watch and wireless earphones. Seems like it was done by someone with access to the building and in possession of a key as the door is very secure and an entry code is required to access the building. Don't leave any valuables!!
The location is perfect, the cost is fine. Lea offers up a nice guide to the surrounding area and the rest of Paris that's great for tourists. Outside of that, things are a little rough around the edges. The pillows, as stated in most reviews, are useless. What's so difficult about getting new pillows? Communication with Lea wasn't exactly seamless, though she was available when needed. With that said, there was a lack of clarity with the check in and check out, causing us to wait around to check in on the first day. We were in Paris since 8am and could have gone to meet someone at the flat at literally any time of the day.
Other small things to note. We were asked to pay 20 Euros if we wanted to drop off our luggage before check in. Not cheap. The flat is on the ground floor with a window facing the street. The window is well secured, but the room can get quite noisy in the morning between the hours of 6-8 with people entering/exiting the building. The walls are thin and you hear everything in the hall. Also not sure why guests can't use the laundry machines.
If you want something affordable and in a great location, this is fine. Just expect the bare minimum when it comes to everything else and don't leave anything of value for any amount of time.
