If Starving Artist Garret Is Your Thing…
First the good: lots of art and books with good flea market antiques; very easy to get to from CDG train; great communication; clean linens and good towels; clean appliances and clean furnishings. As others said, great market street and grocery very close.
The bad: they mention the stairs but it’s 3 floors of a very narrow spiral staircase, with steps more narrow than a foot or a suitcase; the floors and doorknobs are very old and unbelievably noisy - no way you can not wake others if you walk anywhere in the apartment; the shower is about 28 inches square of which 6 inches is taken by the shower controls; and the baseboard woodwork and doors are chipped and crusted with probably centuries of dirt. They clearly are trying to discourage cooking - pots and pans are filthy and no cooking knives - I cut a sausage with my pen knife. Nowhere to hang dresses - closet is 2 shelves with bars. I’ve stayed in maybe 10 apartments and this was by far the worst. I can’t explain all the 10 star reviews. The floor alone would have merited 3 stars from me. They send a letter after you book telling you to be “Parisian” meaning “quiet” but with those floors even without shoes there’s no way to be quiet.
