This flat was overall a great experience
Pros:
- Location! Right in the heart of Le Marais and central to the 1 metro (main line for sightseeing)
- Easy to find when taking the metro from CDG
- Nice shops and cafes near by
Cons:
- Construction happening on the apartment building next door (literally) Firstly, I understand it is going to happen but just know in advance they will be working from 7am- 5pm sharp. Didn't seem close to finished so if you're planning a stay soon just beware
- Stairs! So. Many. Stairs. But it is Paris so it's to be expected (especially if you're looking for a daily workout) ;)
- No amenities, like none. No dish soap or hand soap. Dishes were dirty when we arrived. We had to wash before using
- Cleaning lady had not been there the day we arrived so we dropped our things off and left the flat for about two hours.
- Lastly, we were very startled because the cleaning lady came back a day early and let herself in. (I am assuming and hoping it was her because this person had a key) Once she or they noticed we were there they promptly closed the door and left. That was the last we heard. Left a somewhat uneasy feeling but this was the afternoon of our last night.
