Denis’ studio is a warm and cozy little space that was just what we were looking for in our first visit to Paris.
Good:
First, Denis couldn’t have been a nicer host. He met us on the street and showed us inside and around the apartment, and was always very available via messaging in the app and text. The building is easy to gain entry to and feels very secure. The bed nook is so cozy we never wanted to get up! The coffeemaker and copious snacks, as well as oven with range and pots/pans allow you to cook for yourself or make a quick breakfast easily. The bathroom is very roomy and the shower is great with very strong pressure. The TV is easy to use and the couch is comfy. The internet worked great. The apartment was cool (we stayed in July and temps were in the 70s and lower at night) and incredibly quiet to boot! Staying on a somewhat busy street near a bustling intersection, we were floored by how quiet it was, and we have our windows open.
Bad: The only thing that made my stay less than perfect was the ledge that sticks of the wall above the refrigerator, which you have to watch out for if you’re on the taller side. I smacked my head on it a couple times, and grew to be very aware of it afterward. It’s painted black which doesn’t help it get noticed. But, with some spatial awareness it needn’t ruin your stay.
