Cholé was a great host! She responded to messages promptly and kindly accommodated my late check-in request.
The apartment is well located within 5-mins walk from Place de la Republique close to many metro lines and bus lines that get you around Paris. It’s in a safe neighbourhood and felt safe walking around even late at night. I was able to get to most of Paris’ top attractions within 30-mins from the time I exited the apartment.
The apartment seems recently renovated. Everything from the washing machine to the washroom shower was new. The bedroom is also bigger than it looks in the photos so that was a lovely surprise!
The only cons to this apartment is that it’s located in an older apartment building without elevators. So moving large suitcases up the spiral staircase can be tough. In addition, because the apartment is old, the drainage for the shower is a bit slow. Chloé tried her best to fix it by giving me something for the drain very soon after I informed her of the problem. Unfortunately, it didn’t help much. I don’t think this is her fault. The apartment building itself is just too old. Just take a quick shower and all’s good :D
Because everything else is great I still highly recommend this listing and will stay here again next time I visit Paris!
