We stayed at this apartment June 2022. Our group had 7 family members and we stayed for 19 days. It was amazing. I feel because of our length of stay, we got to know the area and can leave an honest review. We 100% loved it and would stay there again. I want to share all the wonderful things we loved and at the end I will touch on a few things that travelers might want to consider for their needs.
The communication with the owner was amazing. His response was prompt for any questions we had. Upon arrival we had a few questions because we were not familiar with the gate entry and we were quickly assisted. The apartment building has 3 locked gate/doors that require a special key fob or door codes to enter. Once we understood the instructions, coming and going became easy and we all felt very secure. The apartment was clean, beautiful, comfortable for our large group. They even provided a few basic things like trash bags, aluminum foil, and a few other things most travelers don't normally pack. Obviously, when going to Paris staying in the room is an after thought, but having a comfortable place to land is essential and that is exactly what we got.
Ok, here are the hidden gems I feel you might want to know about. This apartment has an amazing balcony that overlooks the cutest, tree filled Park! It's like having your own little Central Park right in the neighborhood. Sitting on the balcony in the evenings and listening to the sounds of the neighborhood was enchanting. One evening we heard cheers and saw lights from the distance and realized we were located within walking distance from the National Stadium. They were playing a football game (soccer) and we turned on the television and watched the match while hearing the live audience cheer from our windows. So, if you are a huge football fan, this would be an amazing place to stay after seeing a game. A few other things we really enjoyed about this location is the corner store and train station are so close by.
We enjoyed our stay so much, but there were a few things just to note. As Americans, we are used to screened windows and because of the beautiful park near by, the mosquitos were a problem. There was an unusual heat wave of 100 degrees one day, so closing the windows was not an option. We wished we'd had more pillows on the beds for reading and we had some issues with the washing machine because we weren't familiar with how to use it properly. We loved our stay.
