Julien's flat was overall a good value stay. To make it a clear review I will just give a list of pro's and con's:
Pro's:
Location, location, location (very close to metro so Paris is at your doorstep)
Market, cafés, pastry shops and tons of restaurants are right outside
Very quite in the flat
The view is AMAZING (looks out over a small park)
The WIFI is really good
The price is low
Con's:
It is small... only about 160 sq feet
The shower is tiny and in the open with see through doors, and though the water was consistently hot, the shower head was difficult to keep upright.
The WC (toilet only no sink) was about 100 feet from the flat and close to other flats. It worked well but it was annoying if you woke in the middle of the night and had to get dressed just to walk down the hall to use the toilet.
There was a strong "herbal smoke" odor.
No a/c, but the window generally kept the room cool and a fan was provided as well.
We couldn't find a trash bin in the flat so we had to make due with a bag from the market.
Was located on the fifth floor and did not have an elevator.
With all this to say, I think it was a great place for the value. And would definitely stay again for a short visit.
