The apartment itself is decent. However the photos look like they are a little bit dated as the inside doesn’t quiet look like the photos. Ie : photos show empty counter space and empty closet. This is not a problem and the apartment is ideal for one or two travellers. The space is smaller and possibly older than expected. But really is all that you would need. Roof over your head, laundry, shower, bed to sleep in.
A word on location. I feel this is the MOST IMPORTANT section of my review. Other reviews briefly mention that the location is questionable. But did not do it justice. Outside the apartment I did not feel safe. If I were alone I probably would of cancelled and rebooked a different area. My partner who I travel with is a mixed martial artist so I always feel safe with him. I should of maybe done more research on the area itself, so I take responsibility for that. There are loads of beggars and possibly homeless (to be polite). Rue De La Chappell is the area. Do your homework and make sure you are comfortable. Best thing about location is you are literally ten steps from Metro and Bus, so you can hightail on and off the streets and to safety pretty quick.
That being said Denis and Grace are very clearly AMAZING people and so easy to talk to. As hosts they are wonderful. I know Grace has never had an issues walking around the area. Which made me feel more confident.
Good value for money. But make sure you are okay with location before booking.
