However, this apartment offers a good stay. We never met the host, but he sent a butler to greet us. The neighborhood is great for a local Parisien stay as no one speaks English. It is clearly not a tourist area. The neighborhood is active until 8 o clock and then the night life kicks in. For young women, at night, I would like to advise that you are very careful as most men in this neighborhood are drunk and are prone to catcall every time they see you. It is a very uncomfortable situation as we experienced it on several occasions.
Now, the building of this apartment. Don't be fooled by the heavy old rustic door... it is an old apartment with a three floor walk up of uneven wooden stairs and with visible rats at night. We also experienced in this quaint building, somewhat mean neighbors every time you walk into the building.
Then you enter the apartment, and you find a lovely refurnished pad with a tv that does not work and with a shower that barely runs. And if you are a light sleeper, I would be careful because there are some loud neighbors that would be an inconvenience at 4 AM. However, the amenities are very good, the bathroom is large and the kitchen is fully equipped. The bed is a little hard and the dresser is large. For the shower, bring a sponge. We were provided towels, hair dryer, and a fan!! Which is great!! Overall, our stay was very good and it is a quality apartment and great for two people any more people and it's too crowded. However, we don't believe this apartment matched the amount of money we put in for a week which was under 700 euros.
Also, the app that Jeremy the Butler recommended called Holibag is a complete scam! We payed 30 euros for a store that is closed until September. There's no phone number and no refunds. We had to book another restaurant on the spot and spend another 30 euros. SO USE ANOTHER APP TO LEAVE YOUR SUITCASES !!! There are hundreds
PS: This apartment is only close to the line Ledru Rollin wherever you want to go you have to make t least one transfer of trains at Bastille. Which was a little inconvenient but it was fine.
Anyways, Thanks Prune! Thanks Jeremy for a lovely stay!
