Apartment was great and can recommend. It is literally centrally located as only two blocks from KM 0. The main room, light, wrap around balcony and view are better in person than the pictures. I tried, it’s not possible to capture the effect and feel of room. Host has apartment equipped with everything you may need.
My only observations, in no way a criticism. They are just notes that may help when planning stay.
- The second sleeping area is through the bathroom so person sleeping there is very important as their head will be laying 6ft from the toilet. It is a cozy room you just need to be comfortable with person staying there.
- The elevator is very, very small (approx 20” deep and 30”wide). It is very welcome as you can send the luggage up and saves walking 4 floors. The last floor that needs to be walked regardless is very easy. However, if you are a larger or claustrophobic person that needs the elevator, it’s something to consider.
- There is only a large (fabulous jacuzzi) tub with shower head. Water pressure and endless hot water are great. It is a step up and climb over to get in to tub. Something to consider if you have any physical issues that make climbing in/out challenging.
- Building is located in very pretty, quiet neighborhood but for newbies, the island is more residential and with gov’t offices so lacks a vibrant Paris feel. It feels more like a quiet french village which offers its own charms. You have to walk at least 10min to cafes and bakeries.
- Host is extremely accommodating and nice. She is very responsive and sincerely wants you to have a lovely time in the apartment and Paris.
