This was a cute, well-appointed small studio apartment on the ground floor. Very near République metro station. Ideal for a single traveler or couple. Host speaks English, which was a necessity for us. He even kindly arranged an in-person late check-in! Bakery on the next block was also a treat.
But be prepared: the studio was very cramped, especially for four people. (Jean-Julien told us this ahead of time, but we didn’t understand how much.) Note the “bedrooms” are convertible furniture in the living spaces, so you have to pack away the beds every day to use the spaces for anything but sleeping. (The couch is a Murphy bed, so no one can use the couch as an extra sleeping space in a pinch.) The apartment would work better for two couples, but we are a family of four—three teenagers. The second “bed,” which is a convertible loveseat, is slightly bigger than a twin—possibly a double at most—and located in the kitchen. When converted to the bed, it blocks most of the bathroom door.
The space did have a washer/dryer, though we found it difficult to use, being in French and unfamiliar with a washing machine that also dries. We looked up some translations online. But still didn’t understand 100% and struggled a bit—ended up using the provided air drying rack, which wasn’t ideal due to the high humidity of the apartment and the cramped space.
We were consistently shuffling the furniture about the space, trying to make room for daily activities and luggage (and we only had one carry-on each).
All of that said, we made it work, as we are a close family. Jean-Julien was very helpful, responding quickly, even on a National Holiday!
