Lovely, cozy, charming apartment. Samira, the host, was very helpful with recommendations. Great area, close to shops, an amazing boulangerie and great restaurants. We had three adults and we loved this apartment and would stay again. That said, it should be noted that this apartment is up a couple flights of steep and curved stairs and not everyone could do the stairs, let alone bring their luggage up too.

Beautiful and charming apartment; perfect location; helpful and kind host!

Here’s a review with clarifications for future visitors to help with planning. For reference, we are a family of 5 (3 children aged 8, 12, and 14) on a 1 month trip through France. We stayed at this apartment for 3 days during a hot spell in May Communication with the host was excellent. She was very friendly, engaging, and gave us some great restaurant tips. While nothing is factually inaccurate in the listing, I thought we could shed some light for those considering a stay. First off, as others have mentioned, this is the host's residence so the rental is like a very old school “Tech BnB” - like when you were paying to surf someone's couch. You are living with their personal, every-day things. If you left to go to work one day and someone moved in right behind you, that's essentially the feeling of the flat and the level of tidiness. Don't expect any storage space (we had a fair amount of luggage given the length of our trip). This becomes an issue only because the apartment is small and somewhat cluttered. Honestly, the apartment would work well for two persons if you're planning to use it for anything besides a home base. I have no idea how the other family of 5 made it work. The loft is, well, a loft. Ok for kids, but unless you like being on your hands and knees, no real space for adults. In general, re-read the description and understand what this place is: good spot, very nice host, cool/quirky space. What it isn't: a professional vacation rental.

The best part about this property was the location! The Latin quarter had a lot to offer and gave a true Parisian feel. The cafes and markets were lovely to stroll around at night and early morning. It was also close to the bus and metro making it easy to get to other parts of Paris. This apartment is very lived in. It seemed as if the host just left when it was time for us to check in. The floors were dirty as well as the shower, and there were no clear instructions on how to not get water all over the floor since there are no doors. I noticed mouse droppings a few different places then saw the mouse run across the kitchen counter the following morning. The host did bring traps when notified but it just left a bad overall feel after noticing the uncleanliness from the beginning. If you’re looking for a place to stay in a great neighborhood and can deal with a little dirt then this is your spot!
