The place was really cute as shown in the photos, spacious living room and nice little kitchen with a washer (no dryer- but A nice little drying rack in the bathroom). We didnt cook at all but having a small fridge to keep leftovers/snacks and microwave to warm them up was nice.
The one thing I wish I had known in advance is that the bathroom is through the bedroom. We were 3 people, one couple and myself so it wasn’t ideal for our setup.
The pull out couch was one of the most comfortable pullouts I’ve slept on, a good size and just kept it pulled out the whole trip because we had plenty of other room for the little bit that we were there.
Not a problem for us but worth noting. The steps are circular and dark, we used our cell phone light to navigate. There is a small elevator that fit 2 people, or one person and a couple suitcases.
Nice big windows. A bit noisy on the weekend in the front room but the bedroom was well isolated from any noise. Loved looking up the street towards a big arch and down the street at the beautiful cobblestone and seeing all the action during the day at the stores and cafes below.
Only having one key for us was a challenge given you needed the key to get in the building and the unit, and sometimes we wanted to be on different schedules. Not something I thought to ask about in advance.
They were great about letting us drop off bags earlier than checkin (1115am since someone else was checking out) and we were able to get in after the cleaners were done about at 2pm.
Location relative to everything in Paris was great. Centered between the louvre, la Marais and Montmartre, all of those areas are walkable if you don’t mind 15-45 min walk. Or a metro stop is just around the corner. Within 5-10 min walk are many cafes and cool areas to explore. During the day the street is lively, its one of the oldest streets in paris, cool cobblestone. It is the red light district and as others mentioned, they don’t bother you but it’s good to know going in and make sure you are ok with their presence when going in and out, any time of day but especially at night.
Overall it was a great stay!
