Studio Isla - Welkeys

Points positifs : The location of the accommodation is really good - close to the main attractions, a quiet area, really good bakeries and coffee shops. Close to the metro station.

Points négatifs : It was very easy to collect the keys from the property. The only thing I can't understand is that I needed to pay extra money to get into the property later at night (my flight was late and it's around 1 hour's drive to get from the airport to the accommodation) so someone will get me into the accommodation. The key was left in the locker as I discussed with the person from the accommodation so there was no need for someone to be there to get me in. So I still can't understand why I needed to pay extra for this. The other thing was the cleanness - the first drawer was dirty (pieces of hair from the beard?), some hair in the shower. We got only 1 roll of toilet paper for a four-stand. There is a stove but no pots to cook into. A sponge was used to clean the dishes, and it's gross. We travel a lot and it was the first time when I had to use the sponge used by many other people. It's not very expensive to change it and give a new one for every stay. It's a very small accommodation - we had only two luggage, each 10kg, and we still felt that we didn't have enough space for ourselves. Not to mention the very small lift - my husband was walking with his luggage up the stairs because he couldn't get with me into the lift - there was only space for me and my tiny luggage.

We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Points positifs : Excellent quality appliances and facilities. Very good use made of the available space in the design. Fantastic location. Jéremie, who had to wait over an hour for us to arrive in our taxi due to traffic blockages, was very friendly and welcoming.

Points négatifs : We are in our 70’s, had luggage for 9 weeks travel and still managed just fine. However the studio would be even better for a younger couple with not a huge amount of luggage. The space is nevertheless small (typical Paris) and above all the narrow spiral staircase connecting the mezzanine bedroom to the bathroom, kitchen and living room could be challenging, especially at night. If the instructions for the appliances could be printed a little bigger it would be great.

Central, contemporary and calm

Points positifs : a fresh, contemporary setting, central position, increadibly silent and calm at the same time; subway station and fresh croissants nearby as well as carrefour open until 10PM

Points négatifs : the abscence of salt, pepper, olive oil and sugar; the 1st (bedroom) floor was not only too low for my partner (1.88m) and for keeping things there but also too hot: when we arrived it was about +27C and the air conditioner turned on + a fan humming as a small helicopter didn't really help. Thanks to the host, there's a sofa-bed on the ground floor, so he (and sometimes, me) slept there

Perfect location for many restaurants and walking distance to everything you want to see and do!

Points positifs : I loved the building and the apartment, and the location is ideal. The fold-out bed wasn't the most comfortable, but the bed upstairs was great! As other reviews have stated the elevator is small, but it's perfect for two people, and is wonderful for getting groceries and luggage upstairs!
