Great place in the heart of Paris!! Location was great!! Near lots of restaurants, grocery store, shopping and about a 4min walk to the train (which goes to the airport). Kind of hipster area! The instructions were helpful and we found it pretty easily. There is a lift to get to the top floor. The apartment was lovey, clean and smelled like nothing (which is a good thing!) We never made a meal there, but it looks as though it was equipped with what was needed. There were coffee pods left for us, which was wonderful!
The twin bedroom my two boys slept in and they had a cot ready in the living room for my daughter! Which all worked out perfect! Beds were firm, but comfortable. The toilet was in its own room while the sink, shower and washing machine in a separate room. Decor was adorable and it looked well maintained.
Now, let me preface this next part with I’m from the US and although I’ve stayed in many many airbnbs I realize staying in a different country can bring unique challenges and differences from what I’m used to, but that doesn’t make them bad - just different.
The washing machine was a combo machine. Meaning both a washer and dryer in one unit. It did smell a bit mildewy, but worked fine. I did the express wash (30min). The challenge was the dryer part. It would take 5 hours to almost dry. So if your flight is the following day, maybe don’t do laundry. There is a drying rack under one of the beds that was super helpful!
The A/C in the living room worked well, the bedroom one was a bit finicky. But you also have the option to open windows instead, which is what we ended up doing at night.
It does say on the listing that there is a security camera. But what I didn’t realize till we arrived, that the camera was inside the unit. It is in an entry way with an obstructed view of the living room. I guess there has been parties in the past and they’ve had to be more cautious, which is unfortunate. But I think this is important to know in advance.
Over all we had a fabulous time and we would visit and stay here again!! It felt like we lived in Paris for a few days like a local and it was so fun!
