Adorable Tiny Flat near Eiffel Tower
Our memorable stay in Paris was helped out by the great location of this small flat. Check in was just a little uncertain with a “second key” use, but once that was figured out no problem. Hosts were very helpful in of our initial difficulty.Location was SUPERB! Just 3 short blocks from Eiffel Tower and Parc du Mars. Grocer one block away, Bank/ATM two blocks away, 2-3 metro stations 5-10 minute walk, Post office and fruit stands 3-4 blocks. One cafe next door, otherwise cafe’s many blocks away. Prior reviews mention the entrance to the apartment. It truly is an ENCLOSED back “alley” (10’x15’) of nearby Thai restaurant with garbage cans under a shed, with thankfully NO bad odors. Only heard activity by workers one night but quiet after 11pm and quiet in the morning. You only see it for 5 seconds before you enter the connecting hallway to exit the building to explore Paris. Only ceiling fans, so no AC. Hosts offered a portable AC unit, but hot exhaust not connected to outside so while it would cool from one end, it would push heat into the flat the other end which we thought was inefficient. I don’t know if I’d like to stay here if temps in the 90’s, but fans were very good at circulating cool air both in bedroom and main sitting room. Hosts were on top of everything with quick responses.
