WS Saint-Lazare - Opera

The bathroom was modern, spotless, and brilliant. The place is very clean and in a great location, just right for a city break. The kitchen has everything, though we only used the fridge. I'd happily stay again.

For that price, the apartment was poor value, and I wouldn't return. The room was tiny, the bed uncomfortable, and with no ventilation it was impossible to sleep on a summer night. There was a terrible smell in the bathroom, plus a constant extraction noise that made it unpleasant even in the room. They only sent the access instructions an hour before I arrived, and had made me come between 3 and 4 pm. There was nowhere to store luggage, though they suggested alternatives that I had to pay for myself. I've found much better places in Paris for a lot less.

The rooms were clean and the location was convenient, with quick access to the metro and buses. There were lots of nearby places for snacks, coffee, breakfast, or dinner.

For our five-day trip, it suited us perfectly. We were out touring all day, so the apartment's basic, compact setup worked for our group of three adults, a teenager, and a 12-year-old. It was quiet while we were there, and the beds and shower were good. The location was central, with good transport links and places to eat and shop nearby. The apartment was clean and tidy. We ate out, but there was a two-ring hob, microwave, kettle, and coffee machine if we wanted to cook. Booking through Airbnb and getting in with the entry codes were both straightforward. We enjoyed our stay.
