PARIS 12ème - APPARTEMENT DE 110 m² sur 2 niveaux proche de l'ARENA BERCY

A couple of things about this property: 1 - It is exactly as advertised and the photos are accurate. 2 - It is not in a tourist area. The local restaurant menus are all in French. Make sure you have Google translate if you can't read French. 3 - Check in was a little weird. This property is in a student union building and the lockbox is outside the property on the 7th floor. You need to get someone to let you in the main door so you can get to the lockbox. Once we got to the lockbox everything was smooth. 4 - There are other restaurants down the back street. You need to go down the stairs in front of the building to get to that street. I would recommend the Godfather as a good place to eat. 5 - The Metro is a block away, Daumesnil stop on the number 6 and 8 lines. I couldn't get the ticket machine to give me a ticket for the right price. Better off going to the clerk for a ticket. 6 - Everyone we ran into was very nice and willing to help out.

We were looking for a place for 2 couples to stay together where we each had our own space. There are 2 bedrooms each with a bathroom for a comfortable stay. The living space upstairs features huge windows with lots of light. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking although we enjoyed the local restaurants. There is a metro stop down the street for access to the sights. We liked that it was off the usual tourist spots so we felt like locals. Also a convenient grocery across the street. Check in was a little stressful because the apartment is located inside a student building which is locked so you need to arrange to be let in the building. After a couple messages we got inside and all was fine after that.

Très bien placé avec 2 lignes de Métro et plusieurs buses à proximité. Quartier résidentiel. Appartement situé dans un immeuble pour étudiants. Au 7ème étage. Très lumineux et confortable avec 2 chambres et deux SdB. Cuisine et séjour très agréable

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cet appartement atypique mais confortable et très bien situé. La procédure d'accueil très impersonnelle (uniquement message WhatsApp et boîte à clé) mériterait d'être améliorée pour faciliter la prise en main du lieu, d'autant qu'en dehors du micro ondes nous n'avons trouvé aucun mode d'emploi des différents équipements.

We had a memorable stay. The apartment design is relaxing. I did not use the bus but it was nice to have the bus stop close by.

Very much liked the property. 2 bedrooms so our daughter had her own room which was nice. We didn't, but one could cook there if desired. Very clean. Toward Eastern end of city, but not a big deal if one uses the wonderful Parisian metro system. And it is near Gare de Lyon and Gare d'Austerlitz which worked well for us. Beds comfortable. Nice and quiet. On 7th floor, but elevator made that a moot point. Not sure how well the communication would have gone if one didn't have some fluency in French so would be sure to check on that if you decide to book this place. Personally, I would do it again in a heart beat.

Spacious 2-story apartment with beautiful, wrap-around, floor-to-ceiling windows in a residential neighborhood, accessible to the popular tourist districts by Metro or bus (both are located very close by). The apartment is located on the 7th floor of a building that otherwise appears to be a student residence. Apartment has very effective central air conditioning, a combined Bosch clothing washing machine/dryer, very fast Wifi (500 MB/sec download speeds), a Bosch dishwasher and unlimited hot water in the 2 showers - amenities that can be difficult to find in Paris. We had difficulties with the Vrbo app/website during our stay, and the owner was very flexible, extremely accommodating and easy to work with. The local property manager (not the owner) was difficult to reach and communicate with for minor, day-to-day issues. We would be happy to stay here again, in the future, if we wanted a rental away from the bustle of the common tourist areas.

The apartment was great! Conveniently located by lines 6 and 8 at the Daumensil metro stop, close to the RER at Nation. Grocery store right across the street. Great neighborhood with awesome dining choices as well. We loved the convenience and atmosphere of the apartment. Thank you for allowing us to stay!
