Arnaud's place is a great flat at a terrific location.
- 3 minutes' walk away from the Arc de Triomphe, very close distance (2-3 minutes) to 2 metro stations and a good range of amenities, including a grocery store, bakery, drugstore, laundromat, quite a few other stores, not counting Champs Elysées which is fairly close by as well.
- The check-in process was smooth, with Arnaud being present to greet me on a Sunday morning & taking his time to run me through the neighbourhood and show me around the apartment.
- The flat is as advertised in the pictures. The only discrepancy I would note is actually a positive one: the top bed is quite a bit more spacious than it may seem from the pictures: it is a double-bed, with shelf space (4 shelves) available next to the bed to store personal belongings (phones, alarms, etc.).
- The apartment is quiet (surprisingly so, as it is on the ground floor next to a busy thoroughfare). I am quite sensitive to (and easily bothered by) noise at night, and have no issues to report on that front.
- Only small cons are a somewhat small bathroom & shower (though that tends to be the norm in this city), small space to cook for those intent on doing their own home cooking, and the fact that the toilet is a bit noisy (not an issue if traveling alone, but something to keep in mind for couples or families).
