The apartment is just as per the pictures shown. The entrance is a narrow hallway before going up a short flight of spiral steps. The light switch is on the wall at the right hand at the base of the stairs. We had a bit of difficulty locating the light switch first time but after that all great, host check-in instructions were clear.
The apartment is clean and well equipped with everything you will need. The host is thoughtful and left touches like extension cord and travel adaptor with USB ports for ease of charging electronics which is appreciated. The location is perfect for exploring Paris, very central and linked directly to both Paris airports. The RER / metro entrances are not more than few mins walk, very convenient.
Rene himself has been a great host with his prompt responses and suggestions about travelling around and assistance to suggest restaurants etc. Couldn’t have been more helpful! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Merci Beaucoup Rene!
