This place was so amazing! First off, the folks who run it are always on line and ready to answer questions. We were able to get a hold of someone almost instantaneously every time we had a question. There was one issue with the washer/dryer but it was fixed almost instantly. We mentioned it in the evening and they had a plumber out the next day to take care of it.
The place itself is really cute! It’s fairly minimal decor but tres chic. The kitchen is really well stocked, probably on par with your kitchen at home. They have some staples already stocked for you to use (olive oil, vinegars, etc), and plenty of dishes, pans, etc. The bathroom was surprisingly large, more than I expected, and they stocked it with plenty of towels and toiletries. They’ve also got some seriously thick windows. Soundproofing is incredible. Bed was super comfy.
The area it’s in is absolutely perfect. There are SO many small shops and stores with everything you could possibly want, within a block or two. And of course there is a metro station within shouting distance. I laughed when I checked out the address on Google Maps, the picture of the ground floor was a small chocolate boutique! Yes, we went there and yes, it was delicious.
Usually I leave an Airbnb thinking that there should have been an iron. Or the knives are dull. Or they only gave us 2 towels. Or something, some comfort of home that I wished they provided but didn’t. I truly can’t think of anything like this with Bertrand’s place, they thought of everything.
