We loved our stay here mainly because our host was very responsive and helpful, plus the neighbourhood (being so close to metro, grocery, restaurants, bakery across street, pharmacy, etc) was ideal. The neighbourhood is very quiet and it’s about an 8 minute walk to the Sacre Coeur. The apartment is older (5 flights of stairs and very tiny elevator fit for 2 people). Location and neighbourhood and vibe (if you like Montmartre / Pigalle ..we loved it. Teens loved it) are the strong points of this listing.
Inside — there are three beds. One single, two essentially double sized. Pretty comfy mattresses but none of us had back issues, The couch pull out bed is not functional but one could sleep on it if need be..is about 5 feet long. Towels, pillows and comforters all appeared to be on the new side. There is a very small fridge, a stove / oven, and toaster. If you like coffee, we brought our bodum. The contraption this listing has for coffee I’ve never seen in North America. Need to bring adapters for electricity of course.
Downsides to kitchen — there are no cereal or soup bowls (host could be asked to buy we just didn’t know in advance to ask). The place is definitely not fancy or huge. Wooden floors creak. Doors have a bit of trouble closing (eg bathroom) but manageable. It would be advisable for the host to maintain doors better particularly in the bathtub / laundry area as the door knob fell off a couple times).
If you’re very picky (expecting perfection, really modern vibe and a big huge space) or care about decor, and plan on spending a lot of time at the apartment, maybe don’t stay here, because you may be disappointed. If you were like us and spent relatively little time at the apartment, but found it quite adequate, this is the place to stay. It’s affordable, in a great neighbourhood and has the basics, this is a great place. If I was going back to Paris I’d book here again!
To our host — Thank you for a wonderful stay and hopefully return soon - a bientot!
