There are so many pros to Ode's place. It's a great flat, located in a vibrant area, with a convenient train stop located very close with multiple lines that can take you anywhere you want to go. There was a market next door and we ended up there almost every night for snacks. They had a great beer and wine selection. There were also a ton of restaurants, bars, and amenities in the neighborhood. The building was so charming and very much what I expected from Paris. Also, the washer/dryer in the flat ended up coming in handy even though I didn't expect to have to use it.

The only thing that stopped me from giving 5 stars was the bed. The lofted bed area was expected but the mattress was truly terrible! It was too firm for me and it was difficult to get comfortable. Everything about Ode's flat was perfect for us except for the mattress. However, I'd still recommend this flat because it was perfect in every other way. Also, a heads up to anyone traveling with a lot of luggage - it's located two flights up a wide but winding staircase. Not a huge problem for us because we packed light, but I could see how it might be an issue for someone else.
