Apartment Center of Paris by Studio prestige

Renovated central relatively apartment

地理位置优越，出行方便。

电热水器使用不太方便，需要分批洗澡。第一天没经验，洗了冷水澡。最吓人的是，我们遇上了小偷撬门，幸好房间有人，把小偷吓跑了。后面我们出门时，必须留一个人在房间，不敢全部出去。安全性较差。

We were a bit put off by the last-minute access instructions, which didn't exactly inspire confidence. 😒 But they were kind enough to waive the security deposit fee for us upon request. We arrived on a rainy evening which wasn't ideal, especially when we had to dash to the office (2-3 mins away by foot) to collect the key with no shelter in sight ☔️. Was struggling to open mailbox, but the office staff which I could see were still inside didnt bother to step out and offer help. Managed to figure out the mailbox and retrieve the keys after awhile. I was lucky our airport shuttle driver was very nice and agreed to wait for me to pick up the key, so my children would not have to wait on the side of the road while it was raining. The apartment itself is big, with good facilities (full kitchen appliances and utensils, washer, dryer) but that's about where the perks end. It was a nightmare lugging luggage over the cobblestone walkway and navigating the tricky main door was not pleasant 😩. Security-wise, it's also a concern that you need the key to be able exit the apartment from the inside 🤔. Inside, the place could use a refresh, especially the flooring and cleaning. The master bedroom toilet was a no-go due to grime which gave icky feeling. WiFi was hit-or-miss, too. Had to keep the cabinet door for WiFi router open so that signal was better. On the bright side, the apartment has 3 bathrooms (one separate toilet), good towels, and mini toiletries 🛀. The washer and dryer were convenient, and the big dining table was perfect for our family of 6 🍴. Location was near to many restaurants, butchery and supermarkets. There's also a McDonald's nearby, and near to metro. Overall, it's an okay option if you're looking for space, but be prepared for some inconveniences (carrying your luggages over the cobblestone and 3 steps up to apartment door entrance), and work needed on the apartment itself (repairs and bathroom cleanliness).

I can't say it enough. The pathway leading to apartment. See my pictures attached. If you are physically unable to carry your luggages then be prepared to spend a lot of time, effort, sweat and risk of injury trying to drag your suitcase over rhe cobblestones. I hope your wheels dont break! If its 1-2 suitcases, still manageable, you get a good workout. We had 6 large suitcases (in our defense, its one suitcase for each family member plus we also had ski clothes). I nearly collapsed from exhaustion of carrying those luggages. I got cold sweat just thinking about the last day when I had to repeat the whole thing. I had asked if the airport shuttle could drive into the courtyard ( as I did see a couple of cars parked inside) but was told this was not possible for reasons unknown. The flooring could use a refresh and bath showers could be better cleaned as there was grime on the tiles.

Very spacious for our group!
