This was definitely not one of our favorite places that we have stayed. First I will start with the good and say that the close proximity to the train station was exceptionally helpful and convenient. Also communication was always very prompt which was great.
However, the neighborhood was certainly not one of the ones that I felt very safe in and we had a couple of random, unprovoked issues with people on the street while walking to and from the apartment.
The apartment bathroom smelled strongly of what I would describe as mildew. The shower is very hard to use and you have to turn the water off between washing and rinsing as you run out of any warm water VERY fast. So showering was very unfortunate. The bedding and pillows also smelled strongly of smoke. The mattress was not very comfortable and the bed is VERY loud if you move at all which made for poor nights sleep. We liked that there was a couch, but while sitting on it you get strong intermittent waves of smelling urine which we think may have been coming in from outside…? Regardless it was gross and made enjoying the living space difficult.
I will recognize that the price in comparison to others in Paris is significantly cheaper, but it definitely comes at a cost. We would not stay here again.
