Handsome apartment. Great location. Apartment was larger than most of the Airbnbs we've had in Paris, so that was a great plus. Nice, large bathroom. Air conditioner in apartment, unusual for Paris/Europe in general. Apartment was very clean...except...it looked like maybe there had been a lot of guest traffic this summer, so the area rug really should be replaced, and the yellow chair and cushions could stand a cleaning. My guess is that it's just been a busy summer without a lot of time to have those items cleaned. The bed dipped a little in the middle, but again, these were minor things. The rest of the apartment was great, and spotless.
It's on the first floor above ground level, so technically the second floor. The stairs are narrow, so if you're carrying a lot/heavy luggage, this is something to keep in mind.
Great location. The metro entrance to the Ledru-Rollin metro is literally just outside the front door to the building. Le Faubourg is a great little bistro directly next to the building, great for apero in the evening and coffee in the morning. We only had nems there for appetizers, but they were good. Across the street from a Monoprix. Great shopping on the cross street, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Walking distance to Place de la Bastille, Place des Voges, etc.
Something to note, there is construction work on the sidewalk that started between 7 and 8am. I did some research and it seems that this construction should be completed soon. Check the Mairie website for the 11th arrondissement: https://www.mairie11.paris.fr/mes-demarches/urbanisme-et-grands-projets/les-grands-projets/l-amenagement-cyclable-rue-du-faubourg-saint-antoine-701 We kept the windows open at night when it was cool enough, but you should note that it's a lively area, especially on weekends. That being said, there are good, soundproof windows and shutters to block the light if needed.
I assume that GuestReady is a real estate/rental company that managed the rental of this property. They reached out to us about a week prior to confirm our arrival time. It was a little challenging for us to reply to them with confirmation as we were traveling in multiple countries before arriving. We were coming in from the airport and ran into heavy traffic, making us nearly 40 mis late to check-in. Georgetta was meeting us there, and was gracious and waited for us. We were very appreciative. She also gave us a bottle of wine as a welcome. Also very nice.
We'd stay again.
