We rented this property for 24 nights in May, 2022, and have the following to say:
Positives:
-While located in the relatively distant 10th, we found the location excellent if you want a non-touristy experience--Franprix/grocery across the street, lots of bistros/restaurants, boulangerie/patisserie, ethnic fast food, within a 5-7 min walk.
-We biked and walked a lot and that helped bring us to the center of town for tourist sites. We biked to the Place de la Concorde and markets in the Left in 15-20 min; we found bike lanes are safe and easy to navigate the city
-The apartment is located on the ground floor courtyard of a typical apartment building--so no stairs--and has high ceilings with good light on the first floor. 4 bedrooms which made it great to have friends come and stay for a few days.
Negatives:
-While there is lots of natural light on the ground floor, there were few windows that open so airflow was a bit stagnant. More fans would have helped and should be part of each room. Some of the windows open but they are very tiny and didn't help with airflow.
-Two of the bedrooms are below the ground floor and while modern and clean were a bit musty smelling. The two fans we found were best used in these rooms. No toilets were downstairs, only showers/sinks so we had to walk up during the night to use the those facilities.
- Highly recommended to keep the front door closed ALL the times despite the airflow issue due to security issues.
-The bed linens were scratchy and uncomfortable. We bought our own IKEA duvet covers and pillow cases it was that bed. Charlotte did replace with other linens once we informed her of the issue, which she was aware of by previous renters. (Unclear why these linens were still being used??)
