Don’t think twice about booking here, just do it!!
The photos do not do the place justice, it’s super spacious, there is plenty of space between the bed and the kitchen, and there is even a window which you can climb out of which leads to a balcony with the most dreamy view of the arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower! The apartment block is very clean, quiet, and has a lift. Carlos includes everything you could need including an iron, straighteners, cutlery, coffee machine, scissors, corkscrew, wardrobe with hangers, and towels.
A few things to bear in mind:
- the tv did not have any English channels, so we went out and purchased an Amazon fire stick from a Boulanger (French department store).
- the bathroom has a sliding door which does not fully close or create a seal. Keep this is mind if you aren’t very close with the person you’ll be travelling with.
The apartment is about a 10 min walk to Porte Maillot RER/metro station which will take you direct to most places within 10/15 minutes (arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Louvre). The line 1 metro has great access to other lines, such as the one to Disneyland Paris.
The local area is very safe and if you are a keen walker, it is only a 25/30 min walk to the arc de Triomphe. There are plenty of cute bars and restaurants nearby - a particular recommendation of mine is the Bronx Pizzeria near the metro station… their pizza and pasta are absolutely amazing!
All in all, I would stay at Carlos’ apartment again without hesitation. It was perfect for me and my boyfriend’s week away in Paris.
