Graziella’s place is in a very up and coming part of Paris, very close to the metro, places to eat, and interesting things to do. Also the flat is clean! Additionally she is very nice and is good with her back and forth communication. Unfortunately this is were the value stops. With the flat at being priced around $130 a night there are some basic things a traveller would come to expect that simply aren’t available at Graziella’s at this time. There were no guest towels which was very surprising and by the time I got to the flat it was late and had to spend over an hour walking the next day trying to find a store that sold one. Additionally although “WiFi” is listed as an amenity it is the free “Paris WiFi” which I was informed by the friends I was visiting in Paris that it may as well not be WiFi at all. They were correct, several times I found myself having to go to McDonald’s down the street just to find out how to get around on their WiFi. Again at the price of the room that seems pretty ridiculous and unfortunate especially since being international my phone network isn’t so great without WiFi. Also the bed is a lofted one which is common for the small spaces in Paris, however the day after I arrived I was climbing down the ladder and it snapped falling to the floor. Had I not caught myself I would definitely have gotten hurt! Graziella came the next day to fix it, which I truly appreciate, but this is something that needs to be secure BEFORE guests arrive. If the issues I mentioned were fixed, or the price was adjusted to be a bit more realistic then I’d say this would be a decent spot for international travelers looking to explore Paris. However, at the moment I can’t recommend staying here again upon my return to Paris given the price and missing basic amenities.
