This flat is in a fun building and every night we watched the Eiffel Tower twinkle as we fell asleep. It is also close to two Metro stations that got us everywhere we needed to go for 1.90E a ride. We were a group of four Occupational Therapists in Paris for an international conference at the Paris Expo Port de Versailles. This flat was situated at a halfway point between the conference center and some of the most iconic sites in Paris - including the Rodin Museum and the Eiffel Tower (1.1 miles away). What we couldn't walk to we could take the train. The two bathrooms were perfect for the four of us. It also is on the 8th floor of a wonderful apartment building with a lift. We would have liked one more bed that wasn't a top bunk, given some of us were on the larger size. Beds are a little harder than I anticipated. I was comfortable, others were not. Showers are great and the flat has everything imaginable for cooking a meal if you don't want to go out. The patio was fantastic. Every evening before heading out for dinner, we enjoyed a glass of wine along with cheese, fruit and crackers from the very nearby grocery store.
The flat is older, secure, and designed pretty eclectically. We loved the artwork on the walls, and the books in the built in wood bookshelf. The patio with the garden was sweet though the older wicker furniture didn't work for those of us on the bigger side. It isn't particularly accessible though not the worst, as there is a lift. Not good if someone uses a Wheelchair (true of most of Paris...). There are two double beds that are regular size beds. One is a pull out sofa. The other room has a set of bunk beds but none of us were able to climb to the top. Great for kids though. Washer and dryer were a plus, though the dryer doesn't work like US dryers so we mostly hung our clothes up to dry (on the top bunk :). No closets in the bedrooms with the double beds, so we hung clothes on over the door hangers that were plentiful. The kids room does have a clothes cabinet that worked well for me as that was my room. There are large closets near the front door that could be used for clothes too.
The only thing we wanted was a little more flexibility with check in and an extra key. We all came from different parts of the world and as such came in at different times. There is no front desk or place to leave a key if our flat mates were out doing something, so we had to pay what seemed a lot of money for the person to let in the second group to arrive. In this case the person letting us in was already there fixing the dishwasher so it felt exorbitant. This was in the contract, but still, 50 extra dollars seems a lot for opening the door especially since we chose to pay a bit more for this flat. We made the two keys work since we were at the conference for a chunk of the time but some days it was a challenge. Still would recommend this as it was perfect in every other way.
