A Student's First Apartment
Remember your first apartment when you left home? Furnished by stuff your parents and grandparents wanted to get rid of, complimented by odds and ends picked up at garage sales or the local used furniture store? This is the way we view this very small Paris apartment.
We seriously can't understand the many positive reviews. To be fair: 1. it is well located in the northern part of le Marais, close to restaurants etc 2. good appliances 3. lots of clothing storage 4. Clean, lots of windows 5. Lily helped us with a restaurant reservation.
We have travelled the world for 20 + years and have stayed in many different kinds of properties from large villas to small apartments and B and B's and for us this was definitely the most uncomfortable out of all of them.
Our negative review is based upon a number of factors: 1. under A/C it has automatic cooling. Since we have experienced heat waves from previous trips to France, we purposely looked to try and find air conditioning, a rare thing in Paris apartments. Automatic cooling, we assumed was A/C as it came up through the search filter. It was a small 6 inch table fan. 2. No place comfortable to sit anywhere. Super small fake fur covered chairs (not ideal in heat) and an itchy felt covered sofa were your options. So we thought, after a long day of touring, we will just lie reading in bed propped up by pillows. No backboard and a bed that couldn't be pushed against the wall, so pillows slipped down through the big crack between the wall and bed. 3. If you are a couple, hopefully one of you doesn't have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom as you have to climb over the person as the bed is up against the wall. 4 Like the concept of a river stone floor in the shower (rain shower another positive) but didn't like stones that were coming our of the flooring, sticking to the bottom of my feet 6. Holes in the bathroom walls where hooks I am sure used to be. No place to hang wet towels. We set up the wire laundry rack (put a mat under it to protect the plywood flooring) in the living room for our towels to dry. 7. It is noisy and full of light from nearby windows. I am sure it is quiet in the winter but with all the windows open, we were woken up repeatedly. One night by drunks, another by kids etc
My review would not be so harsh, but I found the write up and staged photo highly exaggerated; apartment ideal for young people or unseasoned travellers
