Beau Studio de 18 m² au Centre de Paris Place de la Nation et Bois de Vincennes

We spent four nights in Steven's apartment. It is very small with very low ceilings, but we knew that prior, so that's not really a negative. Just be aware that you will have to stoop a lot. The place was clean, the bathroom was a good size and everything worked in the place. The internet went out one day and Steven got right on it and got it fixed right away. It is on the 5th floor with no elevator, so be aware. We didn't mind the "workouts" each day! The Bed is very comfortable, although we prefer a cover sheet on the bed. The apartment is located just a 30 second walk from the Nation Metro which is linked to most metro lines and as such made it very easy to get everywhere in paris - it makes the stay so much more enjoyable!

The photos of this property are accurate. The place is small but tidy and in a good location. However, upon arrival at the property several issues arose which were not dealt with properly nor in a prompt manner.

The property smelt musty and it was clear that the bathroom had not been properly cleaned. There were some marks on the tiles and tooth paste scum in the tooth brush holder.

There were also several stains on cushions and bed pillows which were not particularly pleasant.

For two guests staying 7 days only two bath towels were provided and two hand towels. More towels were asked for via email, but none were ever provided.

On the night of arrival there was no toilet paper provided and at midnight we had to walk to an all night store to purchase some. The next day two rolls were placed in the apartment by the owner, again not great for two adults over 7 days.

The property has its own fuse box. Throughout our stay the fuses would trip multiple times within the same day. We were not informed that this would happen nor given proper advice on what we should do. We contacted the owners multiple times about this issue especially because on several days we did not have water as the boiler kept turning off. After several emails and texts the owner responded days later and informed us that we would have to wait a further 2 days for him to be in the area to try and address the problem. Again within the emails no sufficient advice was given with regard to the fuses.

When leaving the property and stating our issues to the owner he brushed the issues of cleanliness off stating that these were minor things. He then informed us that the issue with the fuse box was known. He did not say that he was going to try to fix this issue.

The owner and his wife are nice people, but they need to address the concerns of their guests in a much more efficient manner and realize that loosing power on multiple occasions throughout the day is not acceptable for a rental home and will only upset their guests.

This place was a lovely way for my sister and me to spend a week in Paris. The studio was clean, well appointed, and in a very safe and practical location. Though we are both in our 60's, we soon got used to the stairs and enjoyed just stepping out into the street and the lively, friendly neighborhood.

My husband and I spent 5 nights in this lovely studio. The location is very convenient; its right off the metro and in close proximity to restaurants and markets and bakeries! It looks exactly like the pictures so there were no surprises. Caution though- the apartment is on the top floor and you'll have to climb ALOT of stairs but its not bad. We will definitely come back on our next trip to Paris.

The apartment was of a high standard and just as featured. The owner was very accommodating and allowed us to use the apartment past our check out time as we had a late flight home. The location was perfect and close to all amenities. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property.
