It was a pleasant stay. Amel was kind enough to take time off from her schedule to meet me at the apartment rather early on a Saturday morning.
I should forewarn you that the apartment is tiny. Its a studio with a small mezzanine where the mattress for sleeping is. I am 1.87m tall and 90kgs, so not a small person. Having my bags on the floor made the place feel cramped. Getting up to the mezzanine wasnt too bad but coming down was a little cautious as the stairway was a little slippery due to the angle of the steps.
The apartment itself was clean and comfortable enough for a short stay. It has everything you need - washer-dryer, equipped kitchen with coffee maker, a pleasant shower and a surprisingly comfy futon-type mattress.
It is located in one of my favourite areas of Paris, close to Notre Dame with lots of places to eat around it.
I love walking in Paris and the apartment is very convenient for that. Plus the RER trains to the airport is just outside the apartment.
I used to live in Paris for 6 years before so I know the city well. And I speak French. It all worked out ok for me in the end
I'd recommend Amel's place for sure.
