Pierre’s apartment is really nice. It has a great location between Saint Germaine and Montparnasse with plenty of restaurants, cafes, shopping, pharmacy, and grocery stores just minutes away.
In the apartment, I really enjoyed the great room. It is spacious and has lots of seating room. This was nice because there were four of us and we had lots of space to sit and chat. The balcony is also wonderful - it has amazing views and would be wonderful to sit on when the weather is warm. Pierre has also done a good job sticking the kitchen. We stayed there for Christmas and had plenty of cookware and serveware.
A couple of areas we did not particularly like. I have been an Airbnb host and believe it’s critical that the home is sparking clean. Unfortunately, the kitchen and bathrooms were not very clean and required tidying (and bleaching) on our part. It didn’t seem that the apartment had received a good cleaning between stays.
Also, if you’re traveling with others - the second bedroom is not very comfortable. The configuration is weird and very tight with luggage. The bed is basically on the floor and pushed against the wall. I didn’t enjoy sleeping in this room but my parents enjoyed the larger bedroom.
Overall, I think this is a great place to stay and just needs a few touches to make it better.
