I have decided to review my experience of staying in this apartment for 3 months through the lists below:
Pros:
-Rented space is clean and up to date
-Wifi works well in kitchen (only)
-Outfitted with room heater, pots, pans, utensils and coffee maker
-Beautiful rooftop view
-Friendly neighbors
-Just off of a great shopping street (Poncelet) for the traditional French grocery experience (Cheese and chocolate shops, 2 boulangeries, butcher and fresh sea food and veggies and fruit stalls, etc.)
-Very close to a Monoprix and a Carrefour Express
-Good proximity to several bus stops, and Ternes metro stop is only a 8 minute walk away
-Only a 10 minute walk from Arc de Triomphe and marvelous views of the end of the Champs Elysées at night.
-2 Coin Laundries very close
-Lots of storage space in bedroom, in closets and under bed
-Private bathroom in bedroom suite (very convenient)
-Hob stovetop works well and lots of space for food storage
-Busy, vibrant and safe neighborhood
-Suzanne is fairly attentive via messaging for questions
Cons:
-Space is divided into separate rooms with a public hallway in between, which is drafty and	very dilapidated. I’d recommend a good flashlight because you need to hit the light switch at every floor every time you go up the 6 flights of stairs and the hallway light is not the most consistent, especially at night ( it gets dark-limited windows in stairwell).
-No wifi in bedroom area, and light switch doesn’t work, must use lamp.
-No vacuum, if you spill something on the floor you’ll be on your hands and knees with a dust pan and broom
-Shower is in kitchen, and did not have a shower curtain when I arrived, you get some privacy by closing one sliding wooden piece, but one can still see in. It can be pretty awkward if you have guests over and someone wants to shower and someone else wants to start dinner.
-No oven or microwave
- Need 3 keys for this appartement (1 for each separate mini apartment and one for	downstairs door). Ensure that when you check-in, Suzanne, her friendly cleaning lady or her landlord Thomas is there to help you and show you how the key for the downstairs door works. It is a very finicky lock and the keys do not easily open the door (you might have to jiggle the key in the lock for several minutes to get it to open on a good day). I had to stay in a hotel the first night I was supposed to stay at the appartement due to this lock and my set of keys not working. Suzanne’s cleaning lady helped me the next day, but it was very frustrating the first night.
Overall, I had a great stay and would recommend this AirB&B to a friend. However, I have been brutally honest in my review because I think it is important to recognize that it is a wonderful space, but like anywhere else, has some limitations as well.
