Pros
• Awesome location, about 7 min walk to the Eiffel Tower, we barely use public transports (although we really like to walk)
• Easy access to all types of needs (pharmacy, supermarkets, restaurants, bars...)
• Very nice apartment to stay on winter since it easily keeps the warm temperature inside
• About the noise: during the night it's ok, you can hear a few trucks passing by but as it a calm street during the night we never had struggle sleeping
• The photos are not up to date, there is a new glass on the bathtub and you no longer need to sleep on the couch, because there’s a very comfortable bed on the apartment.
• It's a comfortable apartment to work remotely and the internet is not super great but did the job for 2 persons working at the same time (it's a bit worse on meeting calls)
Cons
• Cleaning was terrible: small stains on sheets and towels, pushers on drawers were sticky, most of the crockery needed to be clean before using and the floor was not properly clean, since on the first day our socks became super dirty (it's not perceptible to the eye)
• Super hard to communicate with the host,
which did not made the check in easy, but as the time was settled, the cleaning guy was very punctual to open us the door
• The kitchen supplies are very poor: no
toaster, no table towel or any base to put the plates while eating, no cutting base or knife to cut ingredients, no drainer in the sick. We end up buying a few things to use on the kitchen.
• Also in the kitchen, the pans are very old and food gets stuck to them all the time
• The street is very noisy during the day, so if you're planning on working remotely and
don't have a good noise canceling
headphones, you can struggle on
concentrating.
• Tv is not working, which sucks because it's a good size TV to see in the bed
