“Better than a hotel” —my choosy father, who always prefers hotels
These are the three things we absolutely loved the most about Marie’s place:
1. THE APARTMENT - It was exactly as it is in the pictures. It’s a lovely apartment that’s tastefully decorated and very well stocked too. You’ll find everything you need and more (extra towels, extra pillows, even universal adapters, etc).
2. THE LOCATION - The neighborhood itself is safe, central, and convenient. There’s a convenience store two doors down and with just a 2-3 min walk to the nearest metro station, basically everything is within your reach. BONUS: The Eiffel Tower is just a few blocks away (we were able to walk it!)
3. THE HOST - We were not able to meet with Marie but she was very easy to reach and she was quite quick to respond. She did send Marjorie instead to hand us the keys and even if we arrived later than expected because our flight was delayed and we didn’t have WiFi to let them know right away our ETA, Marie and Marjorie were able to accommodate us without a problem.
Minor cons about the place:
1. The apartment is on the fifth floor of the building and you’ll find the elevator to be quite small. If you’re traveling in a group and you have some luggage with you, you’ll have to go up one at a time like we did.
2. We couldn’t find out how to get the cable to work but as it wasn’t really important to us, we never bothered to try and ask about it.
All in all, you won’t regret staying at this lovely Airbnb. We definitely recommend it to everyone.
