For our family vacation, we spent a week in Paris doing all sorts of activities including the Eiffel, Louvre, Disneyland, Versailles, Catacombs, and neighborhood Food Tours. Arnaud’s flat was very spacious and cozy for the 5 of us. Above all, the location is perfect for the metro, RER, delicious restaurants, and a 24 hr pharmacy. We had an amazing time and all of us want to come back soon!
Now, there are a few things that would have been nice to know:
1. There are three floors to the flat that are only accessible with stairs. The ground floor has the living room, kitchen, laundry machine, and a toilet (no shower). The underground floor has a bedroom and a bathroom (no toilet but yes tub and sink). The top floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom (toilet, sink, shower). The spiral stairs to the top floor are very narrow and it can be a hassle to get luggage larger than a carryon up there.
2. The laundry machine is a small ventless washer/dryer combo. If you want to use it, be advised that the load capacity is small and the drying time is about 8 hours. (Yes - 8 hours)
The place is great and the location cannot be beat! I highly recommend staying here if you are aiming to visit all the touristy places in and around Paris.
