Fantastic Location … but avoid if stairs and steps are an issue. This flat is in a fantastic location just a short walk to a metro station, a hop on hop off bus stop (Open Tour Paris buses come to this part of town but not the Big Bus Paris company's buses fyi), and plenty of bars and restaurants to enjoy. The building appears to be like a converted warehouse or the like with a central/secured entry from street to a courtyard which this unit overlooks. To get upstairs to the unit there is no elevator and you have 2 floors of windy (and old) staircases to climb. This is well-noted in other reviews and it adds to the charm (somewhat) but we agreed it can be a serious issue for some people with luggage to carry up. I'm in shape but my lady's 50 lb. bag was a bear up and down. Upon entry into the unit it is very bright and colorful. The furnishings are appropriate for the space but a bit spartan and some showing some wear. The dual-level aspect of the unit was an attraction for us as she tends to sleep later than me but, again, you will have a tight spiral staircase to maneuver to get upstairs to the 2nd level with wood steps so be careful! Our bags stayed downstairs as a result. The sleeping area is spacious and quiet and the bathroom is quite spacious ( though the tiny shower was not a good thing as female leg-shaving and bending over to pick up shampoo etc. is most definitely a chore). Of note is that both the bathroom and bedroom have single steps up so you have to watch yourself if maneuvering around at night. The theme here is cool space but you better be sure-footed. Also, Apple tv only, no cable or satellite if that matters to you.
In closing, The host Dune is sweet and attentive. Her home is as bright as described and offers much more space than what you might expect in a hotel. If you are mobility challenged or hate climbing stairs … definitely avoid. if you like eclectic spaces in wonderful locations … don't hesitate to book.
