Charming duplex with panoramic view of Cordeliers

The location was great and the views out of the window were stunning. Internet was fast, water pressure was excellent, and the hot water never ran out.

The apartment was neat, but not clean. I had to clean the floors. There was initially very few cleaning supplies and a few things missing from the kitchen (coffee maker and some cooking utensils), but they were promptly provided when I requested them. There was A LOT of construction in the units below me while I was staying there which created a lot of noise and dust in the stairwell, but this isn’t the fault of the apartment owner. If you have any mobility issues, this is not the place for you. You have to climb up a spiral staircase to the top floor, and when you enter the unit, you have another narrower spiral staircase to the bedroom/bathroom, and another narrow spiral staircase to the living room/kitchen. This wouldn’t work for a family with children or anyone that is older. There isn’t any laundry in the building, so you either need to hand wash or go to a laundromat. I wish there was an iron and ironing board provided even if there isn’t laundry. After traveling with clothes in a suitcase, that would have been nice.
