I enjoyed my stay at this apartment, the location was fantastic. The space was nice and homely. It lacked a few basic things such as a full length mirror, kitchen knives and for the length of stay - a second set of bedding would have been useful. But these are only minor things, as a whole the apartment was well equipped and comfortable.
I do wish I had been informed about the construction work being carried out on the building in advance. I was there at a bad time and I understand these things need to be done to keep the building nice, but I found it very disruptive. I felt I had no privacy with men on the scaffolding directly outside my window most days and so I couldn’t keep the curtains open to let light in when I was home. I also couldn’t have windows open to let air in due to the excessive construction noise and cement dust falling into the apartment. It was very hot some weeks so as you can imagine this got very uncomfortable and frustrating. If I had known in advance I would have chosen a different property. However without the building work the apartment would have been very good for the price and I still had a great time. It’s next to line 8 metro which is super convenient, there is also plenty of grocery stores with a couple minutes walk, including a lovely fruit and veg shop with the best peaches you could ever ask for! The park with the Eiffel Tower (champs de Mars) is 5 mins away, it was wonderful to walk though it and see the Eiffel Tower every morning on the way to school, amazing place to bask in the sun too. I would recommend to stay here and would happily book it again if I’m in Paris.
