Mid-December visit

Property is nice, a little worn, but has everything you’d need. Location was noisy in the evening, but we did go near Christmas.

Perfect Location

A lovely, compact studio right in the middle of the carrefour Odéon. Everything you need is here for a comfortable stay - great shower, well equipped kitchenette and not noisy considering the location. Just a couple of notes of caution: there’s no lift, and it’s on the 2nd floor; and the steps to the bed on the mezzanine are very narrow and steep.

Fabulous Apartment Apart from the Noise

This is an extremely clean, very well equipped apartment which has been renovated to a high standard. Its main plus is that it is in a fabulous part of Paris; probably the best located apartment we have ever stayed in. For us, however the wonderful location (during our recent 7 day stay) was somewhat off-set by the unrelenting noise generated by the next door bar/nightclub that went on until about 2am every night (and until after 5am on Fri night/Sat morning). As the apartment is very narrow we found the need to close the window to try and minimise the impact of the noise made the apartment feel slightly claustrophobic. I recognise most other reviews have not found this issue a worry, however I raise it just for the sake of 'balance'.

PERFECT LOCATION

From the start, we knew that we would be happy here. Much of that had to do with Michelle's help. She responded to our inquiry very rapidly - always a good sign! We really enjoyed this little studio. We found that the photographs and description provided were very accurate. Every square inch of space is well-appointed. All of the amenities we needed were there. The Nespresso coffee machine and the welcome basket and bottle of wine were much appreciated. That there was no elevator was not a problem for us. Anyone with mobility difficulties would need to consider this. The bedroom's location is also in the mezzanine. The couch does have a pull-out bed. The apartment was very clean. Bedding and towels were new. An excellent quality hair dryer was available. The combination washer and dryer was useful for shirts and underwear. With such a great location comes city noise. And it is true that there is a bar on the first floor (more of a get-together place, no loud music). We got around this by closing the window and using the two fans provided to create a background noise. We slept very soundly, and I am a light sleeper. We walked everywhere! The metro and RER stations are very close. There are countless restaurants in every price range, coffee shops, bakeries, and grocery stores. The St. Germain market is a short walk away. We would definitely recommend this listing to couples. It was perfect for two.

Location, Location, Location!!

This is in a fantastic neighborhood! It gets noisy late at night on the weekends from the restaurants, but the location is worth it. 2 flights of stairs, but my 81 year old mom had no problems. There is an Epic grocery store a 5 minute walk away that had everything we needed.

Why they chose this property

We invite you to LIVE LIKE A LOCAL in our quarter. Whether you are walking in between the ancient buildings down the narrow streets dotted with historical markers, browsing at the boutique shops which all look like a “museum” of their specialties, or mixing in with the college profs and students in a café nearby, do slow down and enjoy the aroma of the buttery pastries, listen to the surrounding melodic voices, watch the people embrace and kiss, and sink yourselves into the true Parisian life.
Staying at our studio, the Carrefour de l'Odéon is your own living room with so many choices of people watching spots, just a couple of steps from your door. And in line to dine at the renowned Le Comptoir is never an issue!

What makes this property unique

The mezzanine provides a separate sleeping quarter that is private and cozy. It is actually a big plus for a compact size studio, as you can slip into the living room with your coffee in the morning without having to look at a messy bed. ;-)
