Charming 45 sq.m apartment in the heart of the Latin Quarter

The location of this apartment is great. It’s very close to metro and lots of restaurants. We felt safe walking at night and loved how close the apartment was to many great attractions. The downfall of being in such a great location is the crowds and outside noise. Luckily the weather was cool during our three-week stay so keeping the windows closed at night kept the street noise down. I wouldn’t want to stay here during the hot months as there is no air conditioning and opening the windows would prove noisy as many happy people walk by the apartment talking loud and laughing. We are fastidious people and the cleanliness wasn’t up to our standards, The bed and couch were comfortable enough, but the rest of the furniture was old and tired looking and not comfortable to sit on. In particular, the metal dining chairs with their thin cushions were totally uncomfortable. In general, the apartment is somewhat dark and dingy looking, and in need of a facelift.The kitchen is tiny. The plastic drip coffee maker takes a long time to make a barely-hot pot of coffee. The toaster doesn’t pop the toast up so I burned my fingers more than once trying to get my toast out. There is ample dinnerware and cookware as well as wine glasses, but only one small water glass.Overall, we enjoyed our stay due to the location. It’s too small for more than two people, and we felt like it was a bit overpriced given the lack of attention to detail. The owner was nice.

A great stay in every way! We loved the cozy apartment, the neighborhood, and our host. Mina met us when we arrived, graciously explained the workings of the appliances, heating, elevator, and internet. If there was anything we forgot, she immediately got back to us with answers to our questions.There is something to do or see within walking distance in any direction from the place. Shopping, iconic landmarks, fast food, gourmet food, groceries, transportation, it has it all. We would definitely stay here again.

The check-in was perfect. Owner explained everything we needed to know so we didn’t need to contact them through our visit. Clean, everything we needed and the location was perfect! Thank you for your hospitality.

Great location, and beautiful historic neighborhood. Problems included: (1) At arrival, the owner, Mina, told us not to contact her on weekends. We were there 10 days including two weekends. (2) One day the lift stopped abruptly between floors and we were trapped. When we were able to get out of the lift, we emailed Mina about the problem. Her response was, “Try it again.” (3) One night the lights in the apt went out. We contacted Mina. She came to the apt but couldn’t fix the problem. She said her husband could do it, but he was asleep, and she would not wake him up. The next morning the problem was corrected by the man who came to the apt to fix the intercom system. So we were without electricity for one evening and part of the next morning. (4) The toilet seat was loose and uncomfortable to use. (5) Trash can in the kitchen had to be opened manually because the foot lever was broken. (6) When we arrived, we found dirty glasses and coffee cups in the cabinets, and we had to wash them before use. (7) One morning we had to get up early because the radiators had to be assessed. Another morning we had to had to get up early so the keys and intercom system could be replaced.
