My partner and I had a lovely stay in this apartment! The unit is conveniently situated near two Metro stops, Notre-Dame-de-Lorette and Le Peletier. Guests will find plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, and more, mere footsteps from the apartment. Host Salvatore provides a handy guide with many recommendations!
Salvatore’s brother, Francesco kindly met us to receive the keys for check-in. I do recommend you have an international plan or FR SIM card in order to coordinate via WhatsApp for check-in upon arrival.
The host provided a variety of beverages and treats, which was a sweet welcome surprise! The apartment has all the basics to make for a comfortable stay in Paris. There’s reliable Wi-Fi and ample space to spread out to feel like you’re at home. Don’t touch Wonder Woman Woman (but definitely take a selfie with her)!
While the listing does state that street noise is not an issue, we did experience a significant amount of noise coming from the bar next door. It is a dive-y bar which stays open until ~2am most nights of the week. If you enjoy young people drunkenly singing sea shanties, maybe go down and join them?! Otherwise, earplugs are your friends. We also noticed the cigarette smell waft into the apartment from the bar below, which is unpleasant if you’re sensitive to smells or asthmatic.
Guests should be aware apartment is in a classic, older Parisian building and it does have an overall, musky odor. Folks with allergies may find this smell bothersome, to which I would then recommend a modern hotel instead.
Overall, this is a great option for your stay in Paris! The convenient location cannot be beat and host Salvatore is readily available if you have any questions.
Thank you!
