Here is our experience of the apartment.
Pros
- the location is very handy for Montmatre and metro stations. Lots of nice bars, restaurants and shops nearby.
- the beds are large and very comfortable.
Cons
- be aware that this apartment is on the ground floor. The photos show net curtains but there are none, so you can’t open the shutters unless you want everyone looking in. It was pretty dark and depressing to sit in the lounge without a window to look out of.
- the bathrooms are very damp to the point that the toilet roll and towels became wet over a couple of hours. There is a strong musty smell in one of the 2 en-suites.
- there was one hand towel; no bath mats or tea towels in the flat so we had to use the bath towels for everything.
- the kitchen isn’t well appointed. There are no wine glasses or coffee cups and no basics such as tea or coffee. There is a random selection of glasses and limited crockery.
- there are no instructions in the flat so we had to message to ask for basic information such as WiFi code. The owner is very courteous and helpful but does take a few hours to respond.
- the cellar offered as a second lounge space, is actually out of the front door and down the shared hall to another locked door. It was pretty but not really accessible as an additional lounge area.
- the rooms are smaller than they appear in the photos.
Overall this is a good base but only really a place to sleep. The decoration is nice but it felt damp - particularly the bathrooms. Some small touches would improve the guest experience a lot.
