This centrally located studio was exactly what we needed for our short 3-night visit to Paris. We wanted to be close to the Eiffel Tower and the Metro and yet not spend a ton of money to do it. André’s place fit the bill perfectly.
André was super helpful prior to our arrival with tips on transport from the CDG airport and extremely thorough directions on how to check in and check out of his place. He and his daughter communicated quickly with us via WhatsApp so on the day of our arrival we felt as though we had a lifeline in what otherwise would have felt like a chaotic situation. And Isabelle's suggestions for "places to go" and "how to travel about the city" were also quite helpful. We thought of André and Isabelle as friends, not landlords!
The studio itself was clean and had everything you might want for a short visit: a small fridge with a freezer with enough room for drinks, leftovers, and a tin of ice cream; a stove and microwave; a little balcony where you could have coffee or a glass of wine; and a bathroom with a shower. One warning about the shower: it is TINY! In fact, if you are over about 100 kilos, you won't be able to get into it?! And the other minor downside is the lack of A/C. André did provide a fan and when we left the balcony window open, it did cool off enough to make it liveable. But if the temperature had remained at the 89F mark for all three days, it would have been uncomfortable.
All in all, we would definitely rent from André again, especially if he had a larger place.
