We had a lovely time at Juliette’s apartment in central Paris. The location cannot be beat; the metro station Reuilly-Diderot is only 2-3 min away by foot and is connected on two different lines to most main stations in the city. The street itself also contains two supermarkets, a kebab shop and a few other restaurants, so finding food nearby is no problem, if you haven’t already planned to go to specific restaurants.
The room Juliette offers has plenty of room for two people. The bed and pillows are very comfortable and the small balcony looking into the courtyard provides a nice opportunity to take in some fresh air in the evening. There is also plenty of storage space allotted to the guests.
The kitchen has separated silverware and pots and pans for the guests. Everything we used was already clean, and there was storage space allotted to us in the refrigerator and pantry. We didn’t cook much, as we mostly went out to eat. Juliette also offers tea, instant coffee and some other basics you might need if you plan to cook a bit more than we did.
There is a large shower and a separate toilet, both to be shared with Juliette. We had no problems with scheduling the use of either of those rooms and were pleased with the functionality of both of them. Juliette also offers towels, shampoo and a hair dryer, in case you haven’t brought your own.
We also had a few lovely chats with Juliette. She is a very nice lady who is quite traveled and wants the best for her guests. Her English is also good, and communicating with her in English was not a problem at all. It should be noted, however, that she likes things to be very clean and tidy and expects guests to wipe down the bathroom sink after use and to ensure that the mattress is always covered and the hairdryer is put away after use. We had a short disagreement that was quickly resolved with no issues, but travelers that are naturally more messy or that expect more of a customer/business style relationship may want to stay elsewhere.
We would stay here again and with the above-mentioned caveat would recommend the apartment to further travelers.
