Everything was lovely. I was studying abroad for a few weeks and this became my home away from home. The window is lovely and provides a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. It honestly was my favorite part. Location is great with the metro right down stairs, great places nearby to get groceries and other essentials, and it is in walking distance from the train when coming from the airport. As described, the stairs are no joke. I brought a carry on small suitcase because I was staying for so long, but I definitely agree to use a backpack if you’re able to pack that light. Or you’ll be like me struggling down the stairs with my suitcase, but I managed. The host was lovely and was always available if I needed assistance with anything. If I come back to Paris again on my own, I would definitely stay here again.
