Location is wonderful, initial communication with Marc and Rumi was clear and very polite, unfortunately they dont live in Paris and I didn't get them to be the ones who manage my staying
I am a visual person who made my judgment on the pictures with out reading much reviews and specifications from host, even they mention how small the place is and the height of bed, I wish there where more realistic pictures.
This is not my first time in Paris and I was not looking for a place to drop my luggage and leave all day, actuallyI wanted a place to hang out and enjoy... the studio is not for that, pictures make it look way bigger and look like it has with two rooms at least which is not the case... it was very uncomfortable to claim that bed every night where the stepping stool doesn't even fit unless we block the access to kitchen/bathroom, where I had to put a tower of tables to put on top the fan because is hot!!.
Again, if all what you care is explore Paris this is a great and safe location but I would encourage the host to post actual pictures of how the studio would look like with bed down and futton working as a bed, please dont make it look like there are two separate rooms.
Taxi driver was very polite but communication with Louis about where exactly I should wait was not good, even taxi driver encouraged him to give clearer informationit was stressful after 20 min that I couldn't find him I was debating between taking uber or keep waiting and felt really pressured because Louis was telling me to decide because he had another appointment, hello! I'm in a different town, different language, not familiar at all!
Check in is at 3pm and check out is at 11am, I requested if possible a late check out, one hour or 30 min maybe since my train was leaving until 4pm., it was not possible and Louis told me that Gare du nord rents lockers, now that I'm reading in the descriptions of studio, it says that they can help guardingthe luggage in case of late check out, I wish he offered that.
Again, maybe my experience in these small details would have been better if I had direct communication with owners.
Other than that location is great, apartment has everything you need and the shower is the best shower you could expect... thank you!!
