We kept commenting during our stay about how great the location is. 1 block from the metro and 2 grocery stores, the market street Rue Cler and many restaurants. The place itself was very clean on arrival and had what we needed to get started for a great stay. The apartment is efficiently designed to maximize space. 2 of the rooms only have space for the bed so they provided under bed storage or racks for use in the living area. The 2 smaller rooms had ceiling mounted sky lights that would open to vent or had excellent shutters that would roll over them for sleeping. In an interesting arrangement there are 2 shower/sink rooms and 1 separate toilet room. This actually worked out well especially since both showers can be used at once, no hot water issues.
The common area had enough seating for everyone though not the type of seating for lounging around. The chairs at the kitchen table were the most comfortable. The kitchen had all the pots/pans and utensils we needed including a Nespresso coffee machine that was great and came with enough pods to get us started. The kitchen does not have spices, oil etc so any of that will need to be purchased. Not a problem but good to know.
The kitchen had everything we needed to look a few meals. It even had a dishwasher and a combo washer/dryer that was a huge help for us light packers.
Ground floor was easy access and we didn't have issues with noise keeping us up. The street in front wasn't noisy and all the rooms are at the back as well.
Laure met us on arrival and gave us an efficient rundown on how everything worked. She gave us an open invitation for advice on restaurants, shopping etc. We took her up on this a few times and she was very quick to respond with helpful information.
The Carrefour City store in front of the metro stop was a big help for cooking and snacks. We enjoyed the market street Rue Cler options too but the Carrefour had longer hours.
We all fell in love with the pastries at the Artisan boulanger pâtissier on Rue Cler. It was helpful for stocking the room as well as a couple of inexpensive and quick yet tasty meals.
We would stay there again without reservation!
An aside that is worth mentioning if you are visiting while Covid restrictions are still in effect. There is a pharmacy on Ave Bosquet at Rue Saint Dominique (2-3 blocks from the hotel) that had a Covid testing site from 9:00-19:00 daily. FREE testing either Antigen or PCR, first come first served. You scan a QR code posted inside at the counters, fill it out and stand In line at the little tent outside. We had our test results emailed to us within 30 min for the Antigen test. We used screenshots of that for the return test requirements and had no problems. We were in line before 9 on a Friday. They probably started testing at about 9:15 and it went pretty quick from there.
