Not matter the late arriving, entering in the apartment was easy, because Nathalie’s instructions given previously through Airbnb were detailed. I had also some questions about transferring from Paris Beauvais airport and Nathalie was so nice to check and send me some internet site, from which I could buy tickets from the airport to the city.
Nathalie’s place is located near the Eiffel tower and near metro station “La Motte - Picquet Grenelle”, cross point of 3 metro lines. It’s noisier, because it’s on a big boulevard but it was not a problem for us. After a whole day walking though Paris, you are tired and such noise could not wake you up 😊
There are a lot of supermarkets and restaurants nearby, also in the same building there is a small Italian restaurant.
The place is well equipped. But don’t expect some new and not used kitchen tools.
We needed one more duvet cover, because two of us could not share the same one, so Nathalie explained us in which closet there are more covers and it was ok after that.
The bathroom is small and when you sit on the toilet your knees are just in front of the door. Shampoo and shower gel will be not especially for you. They are just big shampoos purchased from the shop, put on the floor and you should use what is left from the previous guest. It was enough for us, but I prefer to have a new smaller bottle for me, or at least some dispenser put on the wall. There was a problem with the shower holder when we arrived, but when I told Nathalie she was surprised and told us, that according to cleaner and the previous guests it was not broken before us. I was not taxed, but it was also not fixed during our stay. The other issue was with the coffee machine which was not working, this issue was also rejected and not solved. Electric kettle and electric hot stove were working fine.
The place was clean but for sure it needs some refreshment.
