Adrien's friend, Paul, greeted us and showed us amenities.

Location was fantastic. 2 short blocks to Arc, 15+ min walk to Eiffel. The Arc de Triumph is major hub for trains and busses. Usually 1 quick train anywhere.

Apartment not quite as advertised. While one customer rated like a 1.5 star hotel, I wouldn't be that hash.. it is a full apartment, just a bit worn. Perhaps this is the "Old Pairs Feel". Wife won't let me rate 5 stars as the bathroom was not accurately depicted. Deceptive photo didn't show unfinished portions or crack in ceiling. Perhaps crack is where spiders come from. There are some patched areas on the wall of one bedroom. A cracked/ peeling area in the other. Kitchen felt old and tired.

Unit is on 5th floor. Lots of stairs. There is a lift - the smallest I've ever seen. Signs warn only to allow 1 person at a time. Schlepping bags and ourselves up and down 5 stories of stairs was some work.

I would stay here again (wife won't until bathroom fixed). I'd feel better if pictures illustrated current state of unit better.

Decent space, great location.
