We stayed here for a week in Paris. There is a lot to love about this place, but one key issue (smell/cleanliness) that made our stay unpleasant and accounts for our rating.
PROS:
- Location is fantastic - is less packed with tourists and has a neighborhood vibe, is walkable to all of the key places to see (or easy metro), with lots of great restaurants and bars short steps away
- Is tucked in a quiet courtyard
- The space itself is spacious, good closet space, large windows.
CONS:
- We had issues with the bathroom specifically - there is a strong smell of mildew that was so overpowering we had to keep the door closed when we were not using it. There is no ventilation in the bathroom to help cycle the air so closing the door was a temporary solve, not a solution. They have a shower curtain situation in place that collects water and smell. The shower was not well cleaned. (This looks to be a newer issue, as other recent reviewers are also calling this out.)
- Several of the blinds were broken and unable to be open or closed.
NOTE:
- While we did not have a problem with the stairs to the loft, just a note that it does require some agility as they are narrow and steep.
