This apartment is the perfect home base for solo travelers exploring Paris. As a woman traveling alone for a couple weeks, I felt both safe and comfortable at all times in the space and in the neighborhood. Everything I could have needed was provided, and the area in which the apartment is situated is ideal for seeing the sights and enjoying Parisian nightlife. Coco was a fabulous host—punctual, communicative, and thoughtful.
As others have mentioned, the stairs are no joke, but that’s par for the course in most apartments in Paris if they have a good view (and this one definitely does!). I moved in on Paris’s hottest day in recorded history, and seriously regretted bringing a large hard-case luggage that would have to be dragged up 7 flights of winding, narrow, steep stairs. I managed, but it was not pleasant. If you are able, bring smaller luggage; I was traveling for 2 months, and mistakenly thought my massive luggage was necessary.
Overall, I would enthusiastically recommend this efficient little apartment to any single traveler visiting Paris who wants to see the typical and atypical sights of Paris by foot or by metro!
*A note for those with dietary restrictions: a pleasant surprise to me was the number of vegan/vegetarian restaurants within a five-minute walk of this place!
