We stayed in this apartment for a three week trip to Paris and it was perfect! We took a bit of a chance at the time because there weren’t any reviews yet, so I’m going to leave a detailed review for future travelers.
Location: The apartment is off a secondary street which has numerous restaurants/shops and is lively throughout the day and night (but not loud). It’s a perfect location. The area seems to be frequented by locals of all ages and feels 100% safe. There’s a great boulangerie (Bo & Mie) 30 seconds away that made it easy to get a quick breakfast/lunch/dinner when we didn’t have time to sit down. We easily walked to most of the major tourist destinations, and took either of the nearby metro stations to the further attractions. You can walk in any direction from this apartment and be in interesting neighborhoods / sights the whole time.
Apartment: The apartment is modern and had everything we needed, including air conditioning for our August visit. It’s up one straight flight of stairs (fairly steep stairs with small steps that could be a problem for anyone elderly/disabled, but we didn’t have any problem getting our bags up etc). The bed/couch were both super comfortable (unit could sleep up to three people comfortably…two on bed + one on couch). Note that the shower is only separated from the bedroom by a partial wall, so there’s only partial privacy between the bedroom/shower (the toilet has its own separate door with full privacy). The living room is separated from the bedroom/toilet/shower by a sliding door for privacy.
Host: Vishay was extremely responsive after we booked. He was graciously flexible when we had to delay our arrival date twice due to flight cancellations. He arrived early to let us in (he works 10-15 minutes away) and he gave a walking tour of the neighborhood and left his contact info in case we had any issues (which we did not).
I would highly recommend this apartment for your Paris visit & greatly appreciate Vishay making it available to us!
