This place is a great value. It’s definitely not accessible if you can’t do stairs. But overall we thought it was a very good value.
Pros:
- The location is right by Gare de l’Est, so you can get anywhere you want, super easily.
- It has a separate bedroom, with blackout curtains, so one person can be in the main room with lights on and the other in the bedroom with lights off.
- An actual couch to sit on - many other places I looked at had a sleeper couch. It’s very convenient to have the bed, and a separate couch. It is a small sofa, but big enough for two people.
- The washing machine (though, we consulted an online manual and could only figure out how to spin the clothes not actually dry them. It was still worth it to have a washer and hang dry the clothes on the nice drying rack.)
- Also a dishwasher (though there were so few dishes, we mostly ended up washing them by hand).
- Very well cleaned when we arrived.
Cons:
- 5 flights of stairs and no elevator (also, the stairs are a bit dirty and smelly).
