Pro: location near the train station, if you don’t mind taking the train almost everywhere and know how to use the metro.
The neighborhood is family oriented, you have everything at walking 10min distance. Great restaurants, great shopping, SAFE, friendly French! 😍
A playground/park for kids with the view of the ET.
Nearby Covid testing site at a pharmacy. Laundromat also nearby.
The train is 5min next door. Eiffel Tower is 15 min walking distance.
(If this is your first time in Paris, and likes to walk everywhere go stay in St Germain.)
The room/bathroom are very large for Paris standards. A family of 2a and 2 kids would be comfortable.
The small kitchen is handy, but no microwave.
Con: the apartment needs upkeep. Light fixture don’t work, falling off the wall, the sofa bed dirty!!!. And is broken noisy and uncomfortable. We had to put the mattress on the floor.
The heater is a small space heater.
Older tv, not smart tv, cannot connect to Netflix or such. All French channels.
The communication with the host was faulty, they say they are available from 9 to midnight, they are NOT. Also every prob we had I had to send a picture before it got resolved, if it ever got resolved, like the dirty sheets we found when we arrived after our 8 hours flight at 9pm.
Building is under construction. Very noisy!
