Holiday apartment - 6 persons - 22 Rue de Charonne, 75011 Paris, France - 75011 - Paris

What you see in the pictures is kind of deceiving. The location was great, but the amenities were not up to the price we paid. The main floor had some sort of carpet running down the middle that created an uneven surface under the dining table with the matching wood floor (perhaps the floor was being repaired?). The center living room window had no blinds, so you could see people in their apartments and they could see you. There was no dish soap, regular soap, dish towels, coffee maker, spatulas, and other basic cooking items. The kitchen did have an espresso machine with complimentary cups, but you don't want to drink many at one time. The downstairs bathroom did not have toilet paper, soap, or even a towel rack and the toilet ran the entire time. The upstairs bathrooms had plenty of towels. One of the bathroom sinks was clogged but was not evident until you ran some water and the sink started filling up. My biggest complaint was with Belvilla itself. They did not return any of my four messages through VRBO after I booked. I did not receive instructions for accessing the apartment until I was on the train from Marseille to Paris the day of our arrival. I managed to get a hold of someone a couple of days prior to confirm the reservation but was always told "Someone from the post-booking team" would get in touch with me. They never did until the day of our arrival. They did send a few emails after we got there to see how we were doing, which was appreciated. Overall, the place is just okay for the price. If you see a listing on VRBO that says "Belvilla" is the host, I would be extra vigilant of renting from them. I will not do it again. I would rather go through an individual host.

I loved my stay at Le Patio des Artistes! The high ceilings and glass walls create such a unique atmosphere, The bed linen was fresh, and the towels provided were soft, Plus, the coffee setup was a nice touch for my mornings,

Le Patio des Artistes offre un excellent mélange de confort et de commodité, Le chauffage a gardé l'espace douillet pendant ma visite, et la bouilloire électrique était parfaite pour mon thé, Le salon était un bel endroit pour se détendre après une journée d'exploration,

Upon arrival the appartment was occupied by other guests. We were relocated to another appartment in other district which was not of the same price level of the one we paid for.

I stayed at Le Patio des Artistes for a week and found it very practical, The location is excellent, just a short walk to metro stations and bus lines, making it easy to explore the city, The amenities like the washing machine and dishwasher were a big plus for a long-term stay,
