We spent a week at this gem-of-a-spot located in the 11th Arrondissement in the heart of Paris. We loved the space at the outset, and as we became more accustomed to the unit and surroundings, we found we loved it even more! It is, in some respects, a very small space, and in others, the space seems remarkably large. It is a dichotomy that somehow works, thanks in large part to thoughtful attention to both function AND style! Bonus points for having one of the BEST SHOWERS we’ve ever experienced, and a simple, but wonderfully practical wardrobe for those who, like us, hate vacationing out of a suitcase. Further, the double bed was surprisingly comfy.
Be aware that the steps that lead from the living room down to the main shower/bath/laundry area could be best described as equal parts ladder and stair (Stadder???😂). Be also prepared for an orientation to the unit that is detailed, lengthy, and not always reiterated in the voluminous written material sprinkled generously throughout the unit. My husband and I are both accustomed to Airbnb travel throughout the world, and we uncharacteristically had to contact the caretaker on more than one occasion to seek clarification on important details (I.e. the code to gain entry to the unit “after hours. »). That said, we felt VERY safe, thanks to very stern and specific instructions on how to lock the unit so as to be virtually impenetrable from the outside.
We had a marvelous stay here and heartily recommend this flat to those visiting Paris!
