Pros: The space is small, but well designed. They managed to utilize every square inch of the space. Location is safe and a very close walk to the Eiffel Tower. The neighborhood has several grocery stores, cafes and pharmacies, and the apartment was a few blocks from the bus stop.
Now for the cons: I wasn’t crazy about the bed situation, it was kind of weird pulling down your bed from the ceiling every night and not being able to walk around the room when it was down. That also meant climbing over my husband and climbing down steps to get out of the bed if i wanted to use the rest room or wake up before him. For the price, it wasn’t what we expected for our Parisian getaway. i was also disappointed that the photo of the Eiffel Tower on the airbnb listing is not the actual view from the apartment. That was what actually sold me on the place. I really think the owner should state that in the description for future wary travelers or just remove that photo because it’s inaccurate.
This apartment would probably be a better rental for a single traveler and not a couple. Since we were charged for two people, we ended up spending more than the apartment was worth in my opinion.
I will say it was clean and modern, just very tiny for a couple.
