10/10
We loved the authentic feel of staying in a grand old building on a side street in a normal neighborhood in Paris. We avoided the hoards of tourists in more trendy areas, and we felt like we experienced Paris more as a local would. The Metro and bus stops were a quick walk away. The apartment is compact, but has a roomy living room with comfortable furniture. The kitchen is small but well equipped. The bathroom and toilet room are separate and would be tight for larger Americans, but this did not affect our enjoyment of staying here. It felt good and comfortable to come home to after a busy day of sightseeing or visiting museums.Our only regret is that the host waited until the day of our arrival to send check in instructions. Ee arrived at the airport to find out our eSIMs didn't work on our cell phones, so we could only communicate with the host when we had wifi at the airport. So we had to write down all the instructions with pen and paper (and we missed a step) causing delay, frustration, and panic. We got locked out one night and couldn't get in (because we wrote down the wrong one of two codes); fortunately, after about a half hour, a fellow resident came by and let us in. This could have all been avoided if the host had sent instructions weeks in advance ( before we left the US) and I could have printed them out like I always do as a backup in case something awful like this does happen (one can't always depend on technology).
