Lovely granny suite in a classic Haussmann building. There was a worker there to greet us who was very pleasant and showed us through the suite. A Warning though that the elevator will fit a wheelchair but not anyone to push the chair and turning to get in the elevator may be difficult if not impossible. The bathroom is somewhat handicapped accessible except for the toilet which is raised up on a pedastal. Great for a post hip replacement but not if you are in a wheelchair. There is lots of room in the apartment. The decor was adorable. One room had two single beds pushed together for a double bed There are also two cots set up in the dining room and in the study. Be warned that the beds are hard. Since I like a softer bed, I rounded up every blanket and towel in the place to lay on top of. The location is excellent if you are looking for easy metro accesibility and a downtown feel. RER direct to CDG is 5 min away. It is a busy touristy area. The apartment is across the street from the Etienne Marcel subway stop. It is well worth the extra train change to avoid the confusing,
endless halls of the Halles. On the downside, this air BnB
Is run by a management company that perhaps doesn’t review the apartment on a regular basis, doesn’t get good feedback from their staff or are simply trying to work a budget. All your supplies are delivered in little boxes as in a hotel. One for the bathroom and one for the kitchen. Problems we had: Eg One roll of toilet paper for two people for 5 days, no soap in the bathroom, no lights that work in two of the rooms. The main bedroom had no light at all. The lamp cord was torn with wires exposed. (It was unplugged) there was a broken blind in the living room which obscured the view as well as the dilapidated broken shutter. A loose broken tile in the bathroom which my daughter almost cut her foot on. The dishwasher was broken and smelly.
Coffee is provided but they are nesspresso pods when the owner actually has a drip filter coffee maker. There are filters but you should bring your your own coffee. I left my decaf there for the next person. The kitchen is not well stocked, mainly having condiments left from previous guests. We could not find a spatula to fry eggs in the morning. Crockery was old and mismatched and some chipped. The oven was dirty and the fridge and freezer had not been cleaned. All in all, if you do not plan to use the kitchen much and are looking for a a good location, this is a good suite to stay at. Nicolas, the manager, is quick and courteous in response. Some things were fixed and some not. Eg the hand soap and 2 more rolls of toilet paper came in several hours however no coffee was provided because he he stated that he was aware of the problem of no nespresso machine on site but assumed that the guests would enjoy the tea and sugar in the packages at any rate. He mentioned he would pass on the message RE the Broken dishwasher to the owners. I got the sense that it had been broken a while No interest in the blind or the broken tile in the bathroom. To end on a positive note, it is a wonderful old building in a neat area of town.
