Due to travel changes with the airlines, we found ourselves needing to plan a last minute, 3 night stay in Paris. We love Paris, so once we found a place we knew it would be ok. Pierre's apartment was open, and it turned out to be just what we needed. Our stay included 2 adults and 2 kids. Some things to mention:
1- Apartment is on 3rd floor walk up with narrow, spiral staircase. We were fine with it, but just want to mention for those with orthopedic considerations or carrying heavy luggage.
2- The front room has a pull out sofa bed, and it was actually comfortable!
3- The back bedroom was amazing- the bed was super comfortable, and you could black out the window. Only potential consideration: very subtle rumble of... subway? But super faint and not an issue for us.
4- Shower is spacious, bright, and wonderful!
5- Kitchen is perfect- good size fridge, plenty of plates/cups/etc. Dishwasher!
6- Washing machine! Drying rack
7- Location: Out of tourist areas (and noise!) but easy walk to metro.
8- BEST PART and VERY important when it's 105 F in Paris in the summer: there's an amazing air conditioning unit! This was great when we returned late afternoon.
9- Host responded quickly and adequately to all questions before- was very helpful when we were preparing- found out there are soaps/shampoos, towels, sheets, etc.
