Things to note
-If you are in need of an elevator, I would not recommend this since the stairs are narrow and it is not on the ground floor. This was not an issue for us but something to note.
-The garbage truck likes to come early in the mornings so if you’re a light sleeper this may be an issue. I used earplugs and was mostly ok. Please keep in mind that if you are in Paris (or any city), you have to deal with city noises so it’s not unique to this unit but it’s something to note.
-The shower is very narrow which was perfect for me but my husband is larger and it was a tight place for him to shower
-The original listing advertised the bed as a queen size but it is actually a full/double size bed. We were looking for a queen size bed because my husband’s feet hang off the double/full size beds. If we can’t find a queen size bed, we book places with two beds so he can spread out. If we had known this was not actually a queen size bed, we would not have booked the place. That said, the bed was comfortable except for the length.
-Cleaning fee but then asked to do cleaning tasks: e.g. putting sheets in washer. I don’t mind washing my dishes and leaving things tidy but anything beyond that makes me question why I’m paying a cleaning fee.
