Patricia’s flat is great. The Metro station is right there and services Lines 6, 8 and 10. Unfortunately, Line 6 was out of service, but Lines 8 and 10 served us well getting to every where we wanted to go. Once the 6 is running again, this really is a perfect location to get you any where in Paris relatively quickly.
The flat was very clean and nice. It is an older apartment with older style furnishings, but it really felt Parisian. The washing machine was easy to use, and the space would provide a lot of privacy for 3-5 people. There are floor to ceiling windows, which let in nice breezes on the hot days and provided cooling at night.
My one suggestion, Patricia, would be to create a manual, letting guests know where the nearest metro stop is, how to work the washer, where spare garbage bags are located, where the nearest bank machine is, and where the nearest grocery store/market is. All that was easy to find on my own, but I would have appreciated a manual. There were no currency exchange booths open at SFO or ORD and all 5 ATMs I found at CDG were all out of order. Therefore, we were without Euros for several hours (we found three more walking around that were all out of order).
My one hesitation would be if you are traveling with elderly persons. The shower is a hand held in a bathtub with higher sides then we are accustomed to. My mother is 81 and I was concerned this wouldn’t work for her, but she is strong and it wasn’t a problem. However, if you are traveling with elderly persons, you may want to look elsewhere.
I think the single best thing about this flat was it was about a 10 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower, which is spectacular at night. We walked up there a few nights.
All in all, it’s a fantastic place - clean, quiet, roomy, close to several cafes, convenient for the metro, and very Parisian.
WE LOVED IT!
