We stayed at this apartment for 15 nights and will stay again if we get the chance to return to the city! There are a lot of reasons to stay here but the two biggest are location and security! You simply can’t beat the location – it is very near to the Pont Neuf bridge. The area around the entry door to the apartment building feels very secure and, just in case it isn’t, the building has two security doors to enter before crossing a courtyard to access the elevator to rise to the apartment.
You’ll find the location is close to three Metro stations – Pont Neuf, Saint Micheal and Odeon and numerous bus stops including the scenic Bus 69. You’re also within a block of four restaurants and bars – all of which we’d recommend. A few blocks away you’ll find Paul where we ate breakfast with coffee and hot chocolate almost every morning. Directly across the road from Paul, on the sidewalk, are fruit, cheese and salami/sausage stands. A grocery store is also located next door to Paul. Lots of shopping and restaurant options within walking distance.
If you’re looking for a posh updated apartment for your stay this is not for you, but if you’re looking for a comfortable apartment for one to two people and plan to spend your time exploring the city, this is the perfect place for you! The handheld shower has plenty of hot water and water pressure! The kitchen is stocked with anything you’d need and there were plenty of paper products. We experienced cold and warm weather during our visit and appreciated the two electric heaters and two fans provided for our comfort. The apartment is on the top floor and there is good airflow with the windows open – amazingly, it’s also very quiet with very little street noise. The sofa bed was very comfortable - we left it pulled out. The Wifi worked well and there were plenty of electrical outlets. The convenience of having a washing machine cannot be overstated and the instructions we received were very easy to follow. We used either the heater or a fan to quickly dry the clothes overnight as they hung to dry over the tub.
The owner very quickly responded to any questions we had and we literally had no issues during our stay there. You can’t go wrong staying at this apartment – it’s a great value and allows easy access to the beautiful city of Paris!
If you make it to the Galway Irish Pub say hello for us – they will welcome you, make you feel at home and the food is good too!
