Alexandra and Pierre were great hosts. They were very friendly and helpful and have a lovely home (and very sweet kids and cats!) And they were very accommodating with an early check in. We stayed for a week.
A few cons:
- There are only two areas for plugs in the room (we had to unplug a lamp or the dehumidifier to charge our phones/dry our hair/etc) and no plug in the bathroom.
- We also had an issue with ants in the room, mostly the bathroom. They were very apologetic and set traps and tried to get rid of them.
- The shower was leaking in the bathroom, but they plugged it with a towel and were able to get a plumber to fix it on our last day.
Pros:
- Being from California and knowing limited French, having Alex as a host was very helpful.
- Location is awesome, great neighborhood, a couple blocks from the metro, many shops and restaurants, nice park across the street, 25 minute walk to Notre Dame, 35 minute walk to the Louvre, and 1 hour and 15 min walk to the Eiffel Tower. (We walked A LOT, and used the metro)
- The room is away from the rest of the apartment, very private.
- Access to kitchen was helpful when we had food and leftovers.
- Alex was very responsive when we messaged her about directions and recommendations.
- Great company, we spoke with them a lot!
Merci, Alex and Pierre!
