We had the best time in Paris thanks to the location of this charming apartment. It is perfectly situated within the Latin quarter, close to Notre Dame, pantheon, rue moufftard, so many restaurants and boulangeries, and of course to excellent public transport options. Cristina and Matteo made us feel so welcome and provided excellent recommendations. They are lovely people and hosts.
The apartment itself suited our needs. It was really clean and well organized, with lots of travel and reference guides for Paris and France. It is, of course, really tiny. For a couple, no big deal because you don't spend much time in the room when you're in an amazing city like Paris. With that said, I probably wouldn't stay there with anyone other than my partner.
The bed in the picture pulls out so that there are two mattresses side by side on the floor. One mattress is really comfortable, and the other one...well you can feel the wooden panels under your back. The shower is compact but really great. The only thing I really didn't like at all was the toilet. Because the place is so compact, the toilet is literally in a cupboard. It's also in very close proximity to the bed once pulled out. I have a pretty sensitive sense of smell and it was unpleasant to be lying next to the toilet cupboard because of the general plumbing odor (which, for the sake of clarity I will be candid, is not the same as saying it smelled like a toilet room). For this reason alone, I likely wouldn't return to this particular unit.
I can see why this unit is so well reviewed, especially in the context of Paris' short term rental market. Also, especially because of the amazing hosts who provide detailed information and directions and make you feel so welcome. If you know what you're getting - a compact, clean unit that works as a great base to explore the city, with some reasonable accommodating required on your part- you won't be disappointed.
Thanks to the lovely hosts!
