Pros: The apartment is close to a metro stop; has restaurants, shopping, and a supermarket near by, the place is fairly large, and check in was easy. The second half bath was also nice to have.
Cons: lots of stairs, apartment needs maintenance, kitchen had bare minimum items.
We tend to choose Air B&B over hotels for the personal touches you get when staying in someone’s home. This apartment lacked any of these touches-we were not even provided soap for each bathroom, we were given one dish towel for the kitchen, and were not even provided coffee pods for the Nespresso machine. We arrived about an hour before check in and we’re not allowed to drop off our bags without bringing down the street and paying 4 euros a bag. While we had more space than many Paris accommodations, I felt myself wishing we would have chosen a traditional hotel for the price. The place could be great if those managing it would invest a little into maintaining the place and providing some basic comfort items.
