My wife and I stayed for a month in Joelle’s apartment. While we enjoyed our stay and would stay again there are things you should know ahead of time.
PROS
Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to wonderful shopping and food T
wo wonderful balconies each with a view of the Eiffel tower. One with a small table and two chairs for breakfast or dining.
Large clean apartment with two living rooms, dining room, bedroom, and bathroom
Bedroom is on the backside of the apartment making it quiet even with the windows open.
Bus and metro are right outside the entrance to the apartment building
CONS
Broken oven. It works but must be clamped closed with a binder clip.
Faucets are loose in the kitchen and bathroom
Furniture in the apartment consists of many antique pieces most of which are very worn or broken. Two drawers given for our use were very difficult to open. Upholstered furniture has very thin stuffing.
The apartment is cluttered with statues, books, antique furniture, and artist supplies
Although a clothes dryer is listed in the apartment ‘s description none exists, and guests must use a drying rack in the dining room
The sink in the bathroom is mounted on a very high counter making it awkward to use unless you are tall
Very little guest storage space
Communications with Joelle can sometimes be problematic as she does not respond to every message
