Staying at Caroline’s flat was simply perfect for us! (Two people, A couple)
Arriving :
Communication was clear and responsive upon our arrival date to how to get to the apartment building and how to access it. Caroline met us in her flat and showed us the place first then gave us the keys.
Location :
The location of the apartment couldn’t be more ideal. 5 minute walk to metro station for the 6 or 8 train. We used the Paria Visite pass and got so much use out of that. The metro is so fast and very efficient to get you to place to place. (Be prepared for lots of stairs however! Some stations do not have elevators or even escalators-it varies station to station)
Inside the apartment :
The Parisian flat has an AMAZING view of the Eiffel Tower - which we loved being in the comforts of home and still being able to see the light show each night. It has the simple amenities like heating, kitchen appliances, shower, etc. Only thing that was inconvenient inside was that there was little to NO STORAGE SPACE. Her closet was full and had no room for our clothes and whatever we needed to put away. Instead we had to leave our clothes in the living room and we realized that the apartment easily gets dusted - heavily. We had to constantly dust everything.
For the bathroom- there was only 2-3 bath towels total for the shower and when we tried to wash them in the washer machine it would not become dry all the way since there is not dryer and would start to smell. For the shower , the hot water is limited. After so long the water would turn ice cold so we always have to take quick showers.
Departing:
Check out was simple in itself. We left at our designated time, but tried to communicate where to leave keys since it was not discussed. Other than that, we loved the flat and would definitely stay again if needed. Thank you Caroline, for offering your home to us! :)
