no-frills flat - charming, clean, convenient
This no-frills flat is charming, clean, and typically Parisian. The listing pics are outdated (no lamps in the bedroom, different bed layout. more cluttered) but mostly accurate. We loved the natural light. Basic items were needed - one roll of toilet paper provided for 3 people/5 nights and no dishwashing soap in the kitchen. Corner groceries are plentiful in the area, so it's easy to pick up necessities. The mini-fridge is sufficient for a short stay. Linens and towels could use an upgrade. Since the washing machine was unpredictable we did laundry nearby instead. All the windows open onto courtyards that can be noisy. (Ear plugs at night are an easy fix.) The Wifi is fast. The beds were comfortable. The cot/extra bed in the living room would work well for a child but it was a bit small for a regular-sized adult. Good shower pressure and plenty of hot water. This flat is on the 5th floor and has an elevator – you must walk up all flights to get the key before the elevator can be activated. The elevator is tiny but convenient.
The neighborhood and location are fabulous. Just a 3-minute walk to the flat from the Metro. (When first arriving with luggage, take the Metro elevator to the street level instead of the long, winding stairs!) We felt safe walking at all hours. There are many restaurants, shops, and sightseeing within a short walk. Our host was very responsive when we had questions. He also provided some good dining recos. We will recommend this property!
