We enjoyed our time at Guillaume and Delphine’s apartment! The highlight is definitely the location; the Metro 1 is a 2 minute walk and takes you to most of the major sites (Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Musée d’Orsay, etc.). The apartment is also a 10 minute or less walk to Bastille where we found great restaurants and fun streets to walk around! The check-in process was simple and quick; there are two secure doors to get in to the building which made us feel very safe! Another highlight for us was the washer/dryer which we used twice as we were backpacking light!
We have a few things to mention that would have been helpful to know: 1. The apartment felt a little more lived in than we are used to with Airbnb. There was food in the freezer/fridge and clothes in the closet. We usually like to hang clothes at each place we stay and this was not possible as the closet was full. 2. There is no shower or shower curtain. There is a bathtub and a shower head extension from the faucet. We managed, but it was difficult to bathe without getting water on the floor. 3. The curtains are thin and let light in. We did just fine sleeping in eye masks and ear plugs, but if you are light sensitive, sleeping would be a little more challenging!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay but wanted to point out a few things for future guests!
