We had a great time at this house. Enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again.
Here are the positives:
- The house is located about 300m from the Eiffel Tower, so straightaway, it is centrally/perfectly located. Any place we wanted to visit, was walkable or a short Metro ride away. The Metro station, a supermarket and several lovely cafe's and restaurants are on the same street or VERY close by.
- The neighbourhood is clearly rather upscale, so the buildings around you are great to look at and the area is safe to walk around at night (which you will do, since this is Paris!).
- This house is managed by a company that runs several other Airbnb's in Paris, so they were professional and the apartment was very clean and well equipped.
- We were met at the house (at 9:45PM), by one of the hosts, who was waiting to welcome us, and communication by text or calls was prompt and helpful.
- The kitchen was very well equipped, so we could do some basic cooking - a big plus in my opinion.
- The bathroom was very clean and stocked - another big plus.
- Instant coffee, sugar and tea was available to us in a little welcome box.
The only drawback to consider was with regard to the bedroom: The bedroom was very quiet, cosy and comfortable, but here are a couple of issues:
- the stairs to go down to the bedroom, are more like a ladder, and are steeper than they look in the photos. We did not bother taking our suitcases down. Also, the only bathroom in the house is downstairs in the bedroom, so if you travel with older adults or have problems with walking on steep stairs, this is an issue.
- My wife and I travelled with a 3rd guest, so he stayed on the sofa-bed in the living room. Which was just fine. But there is a square of glass floor in the living area that looks into the bedroom, where one might change after a shower. The bedroom does not have a door at the stairs.
All things considered, this house is a very, very compelling place to stay considering location, cleanliness, amenities and the fact that it is a whole house available to the guest. We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great little place in Paris.
