We had a fantastic time during our month-long stay in Paris. The room itself is small, but the real drawcards here are the amazing location, the good value, and the welcoming hosts!
The location was AMAZING! Right nearby are the beautiful Jardin des Plants and Arenes de Lutece parks - they're different from one another and both enjoyable. It was a great novelty to run through the sprawling Jardin each day to the Seine and wave at some wallabies and the red panda in its zoo along the way. Of course there is a wonderful French bakery just nearby, and the Les Arenes restaurant just downstairs was a surprise dinner highlight - among many other nice places nearby. Many major attractions were in moderate walking distance (Notre Dame, the Seine, Jardin du Luxembourg, Pantheon, the Lourve... the list goes on), and the Jussieu metro stop accessed lines 7 and 10, taking you to much of the city very quickly.
As others have mentioned, the place itself is pretty small, but we stayed there for a month and it was overall very workable. It's equipped with the basics: comfy double bed, kettle, toaster, fridge, portable single burner electric stove, hanging space, and some shelving. It's nice being on the first floor as it feels private without being a big hike up too many stairs, and throwing the shutters open every day to see a street full of typical Parisian places definitely never lost its charm! The main thing to note is that the shower is very tight, so it may not be the place for you if that could be an issue. The kitchen is inherently limited due to the space but we got creative with our meal prep and it didn't really bother us.
Finally, our host Philippe was lovely and very accomodating. He answered our messages quickly, provided good checkin instruction, had some nice local area tips, and we spent an evening having a glass of wine and a great chat - he's a very good and genuine person.
We truly did enjoy our time in Paris and felt sad to be going. Thanks again Philippe for having us! :)
