This is a great value - the location is phenomenal. The grocery store is across the street, restaurants and coffee shops literally surround you, and it’s an easy walk to major tourist sites if that is what brings you to Paris. We had been traveling for 26 straight hours when we arrived and couldn’t follow basic instructions to get in our apartment - luckily, Bea was immediately responsive. The shower is super hot, having a w/d in the unit meant no checked luggage for us, and the building is super secure and felt very safe walking around, even very late at night. The kitchen isn’t super well equipped, but it has what you need - fridge, microwave, coffee pot. But why would you come to Paris to cook anyway?
The metro was barely functioning due to strikes while we were there. We used Uber and found the hop on/hop off boat to be a relaxing option to get to sites up and down the river. You can get a two day pass for about 15 Euro pp. WATCH YOUR BELONGINGS - my iphone was stolen right out of my jacket pocket on the metro. I’m a former police officer and hyper aware of my surroundings - they were slick. There are pick pockets everywhere in Paris, be vigilant.
Bea is super accessible and the apartment was very clean. Thanks for a great stay!
