Brief review- Alexis was great as a host. The place is small and not recommended for large people. Also parts are irritating. But other parts are great. Overall it is a young person’s Apt with the luxury afforded by a young person’s income. I think the price should be reduced by 30% to make it a fair deal.

Things that are small:
Elevator: literally 20 inches wide by maybe 36 deep. 2 slender people plus luggage can fit.
Bathroom sink: Difficult to wash hands or cup hands to get water to rinse mouth after brushing teeth.
Shower: Banged my elbow a couple times.
Sofa: Low back made it uncomfortable
Bed: Typical size for Paris but small for American standards- yea I know we are spoiled. Can fit 2 slender people and just enough room to shuffle down between wall and bed to get out.

Irritating things:
A bare bulb hanging lamp is at the crossroads of all hallways. I am 6 ft 1 inch and it hit my forehead. It hangs at intersection of living room hall, bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. No way to avoid it. It got tiresome having to duck dozens of times a day when moving about the apartment.

He has a CAT but this fact is not stated in the listing. My wife is allergic to cats, luckily she was OK. Maybe it’s hypo allergenic breed or new and dander is has not yet penetrated the place. If allergic to cats, stay away. Saw fur in corner is how we found out.

No wall switch for living room lamp. You must bend over, reach behind a speaker, and plug it into the wall. Otherwise not enough light in the Living-room. Bending over to get light got a little annoying.

No hangers for guests to use. Sorry Alexis we had to double up your t-shirts to free up hangers for our coats. Please leave some extra hangers for guests.

Bathrobes left in bathroom I assume were his and his partners? That kind of grossed me out having a stranger’s bathrobe hanging around. Had to be careful not to touch it.
No bath floor mat, we left you a towel to use for that.

Dining room chairs are uncomfortable. Kept sliding down the slick plastic surface and curvature was not comfortable.

Clothes washer takes 2 hours and hold maybe 2 days worth of clothes for 2 people. I.E. Small

Things that were great:
Close to Metro, as in 20 steps to 2 lines, the 9 and 13. Line 9 will take you East West while 13 goes north south. South to main tourist attractions such as Louvre, Rodin Museum, Eiffel Tower. So great intersection of public transportation.

Many, many places to eat close by with 3 being 20 to 40 steps away from front door. Small grocery store about 6 blocks down. Manhattan blocks not Las Vegas blocks, meaning close by.

Secure entrance and great view, warm with nice cross breeze if needed and old world charm.
