I first want to say that Marco was a great host. He was responsive to our questions, and he was kind enough to haul both my luggage and my friend’s up the 4 flights of stairs when we arrived and down when we checked out. Marco himself was great! My issues were with the flat itself. This room is far too small for 2 people to share comfortably, we had to do a lot of maneuvering to make it work and even then it was tough. We shared the shower room, toilet, kitchenette, and tiny living space with 3 other rented bedrooms that can each host 1-2 more people, which I don’t think is conducive to a positive guest experience. It felt like a mini hostel. On top of it all, I worked really hard to find a flat in Paris with a good location, good price, and a bathtub because baths are important to my friend who was traveling with me, it’s one of the best ways she can relax and this was her first time abroad (fun but stressful). We found out that the bathtub is useless, it can only do showers. I found that extremely frustrating. The flat’s one redeeming quality is the location. Quick walk to the Cité, and the neighborhood is super cute. Highly recommend the cafe downstairs!
Again, Marco was fantastic and so was the location, I just wouldn’t recommend booking this for 2 people unless you’re backpackers or if you’re banking on a bath.
