Le lieu et son originalité

Die sichere und abgeschottete Lage obwohl sehr zentral gelegen um alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu erreichen.

Die Ausstattung (Toilettenpapier und Handtücher) war etwas knapp bemessen für zwei Personen. Die Treppe nach unten ist schon sehr steil. Für Personen über 1,90m nicht zu empfehlen.

Un petit tresor! A charming three-level flat within the gated Passage du Desir, it is only a twelve minute walk from Gare du Nord, a six minute walk from Gare l'Est and a twenty-five minute walk from the Louvre or Isle de la Cite. My fiancee and I stayed five nights (our first stay in Paris) and felt privileged to come home each evening to such a beautiful, safe and well-maintained property. Highly recommended.

Some of the adjoining units were as of May, 2026 being rehabbed, resulting in a little bit of daytime noise. The unit is almost more vertical than horizontal; the staircase to the kitchen is indeed something of a challenge to even the fittest of individuals, just be aware of this going in so it will not prove an issue. Towels and linens could have been higher quality, but these are all minor qualms; having read so many horror stories of other rentals I believe this property to be a hidden gem of the 10th Arrondissement.

The owner was quick to respond with the correct Wifi password. The location was excellent, salon and bedroom areas are adequate spaces, and furniture is comfortable.

The large 60cm square European style decorative pillows are not suitable for sleeping on. Staircase to kitchen is very intimidating, somewhat dangerous and worrisome with the loose ropes for hand rails. There was an overpowering chemical odor on arrival and the apartment has poor ventilation unless upstairs window is left open, allowing mosquitoes to enter. Can't recommend.
