In our planning for our first visit to France we quite were worried that something could go wrong to spoil the first impression. After a careful study we selected this apartment based on VRBO information. And we were really lucky to trust the reviews. The majority of facts listed in the VRBO review appeared to be correct, and even better than expected from the text. So, our stay appeared very memorable and enjoyable, despite the hot weather and the leg trauma I had a few months before the trip. So, if you like to get a full experience of living in Paris at a moderate price, that's the right place. Ourselves, we would like to visit this place again, if an opportunity arises.
There are many clear and unique advantages for this apartment 1) High quatily-to-price ratio 2) Metro station Bel Air, just 60 m away from the door, with convenient access to major Paris attractions. 3) Villa-like location, surrounded by a garden and blocked from outside noises with street-level buildings. 4) Lots of space, easy to accommodate a family with kids. 5) Location in a safe, typical middle-class Paris district, with several restaurants and fresh produce markets at easy access. 6) Nice, friendly and helpful owner. 6) 2 opposite side balconies, which guarantee fresh air and high level of comfort during the summer heat. So if you are not inclined to go outside, just take you timer and relax in a sofa!
As for disadvantages, we can list only few of them: 1) electric stove not strong enough for cooking 2). Lack of freezing compartment in the fridge (bye-bye, the ice cream). 3) Lack of towel hooks in the bathroom.
