Pros: fast wifi, good location. Plenty of hot water for showers for four of us. An oven, microwave, fridge and freezer, plus a kettle and nespresso machine. Washing machine and dryer.
Cons: the layout is a bit bizarre. The living room has a table for four, but pushed into a corner so it really only seats three unless you move it. Photos showed one sofa, but there are two, positioned in an L, with one blocking 50% of the other, so it's more like one and a half sofas.
It’s on the third floor without a lift, which was fine for us, but if you aren’t good with stairs, it’s worth knowing.
One bedroom has lots of storage space and two single beds. But one has two mattresses on it, which slide around (we ended up taking it off). The other bedroom has a double bed, but very little storage— there are a couple lockers at roughly 6.5 feet above the ground, so not within easy reach of most people.
The older half of our group checked in first and weren’t thrilled by the quality of the cleaning, but I suspect that might have been a generational or personal thing. To me, it seemed a bit messy, but not dirty (there was leftover food in the fridge and laundry in the washing machine), but the kitchen and bathroom seemed clean enough, and there were clean sheets and towels.
This is a lovely neighbourhood, and very easy for the Eurostar trains. It’s a quiet building on a side street, so didn’t have any problems with noise (winter with windows closed, so can’t vouch for summer noise).
Joseph was very easy to communicate with, in French and English, and check in and check out were very smooth and easy. For the price and location, I’d recommend it.
