You guys, I’m living the dream in Paris! I’ve snagged an Airbnb with the most incredible view of the Eiffel Tower, and you’ve seen glimpses of it in my Instagram stories. So many of you have been messaging me asking for the details, and I’m happy to spill the beans in this blog post!
A Parisian Gem
Let’s talk about the apartment. It’s a studio with a balcony that has one of the most breathtaking views of Paris and the Eiffel Tower. I stumbled upon this little gem while searching for accommodation with a view of the iconic landmark. It was a risk, but I took a chance and booked it, and I’m so glad I did!
A Steal in the City of Lights
Not only is the view incredible, but the price is amazing too! We all know Paris can be expensive, so finding a deal like this is a dream come true. The current asking price is under 115 Euros a night (around Aus $169), which sounds almost too good to be true, right?
The Reality Check
Now, I wouldn’t be a good friend if I didn’t give you the lowdown on some of the apartment’s quirks. The AirBnB description is upfront and honest, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into.
A Shared Bathroom and Compact Space
First off, there’s a shared toilet down the hallway. This might be a dealbreaker for some, but for me, the view is worth the sacrifice!
The apartment itself is a single room, with the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom area all sharing space. The kitchen is the best part of the room, with a stylish island bench and modern touches. But the bathroom… well, let’s just say the shower curtain might need a good scrubbing. And the hot water tends to run out quickly, so you’ll want to keep your showers short and sweet. There’s no TV, so you’ll have to find other ways to entertain yourself, like staring at that incredible view!
An Unforgettable View
But trust me, the cons are totally outweighed by the positives! The view is truly incredible, the Eiffel Tower feels like you could almost touch it. The apartment is on the top level of the building, so the view is truly breathtaking.
Can you imagine waking up to that view every morning?
Then in the evenings, imagine yourself relaxing with a glass of wine or beer, watching the Eiffel Tower light up every hour from the comfort of your own room! Honestly, this view is so amazing, you forget all about the apartment’s quirks.
Practical Amenities and Location
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking your own meals, with a hotplate, microwave oven, fridge, and all the necessities for cooking and serving.
There are plenty of power outlets, and the mirror is conveniently placed near a power outlet, which is a lifesaver for blow-drying your hair.
The wifi works perfectly, I uploaded tons of photos without any issues.
The apartment is right next to Passy Station, which has an escalator (great for those heavy suitcases!), and a shopping strip is just a short walk away.
A Parisian Adventure Awaits
So if you’re not afraid of a quick walk down the hallway for the toilet, then welcome to the most affordable apartment with the most incredible view of the Eiffel Tower you’ll find!
The property is listed on Airbnb if you’re interested in booking. The host usually meets guests at the property, but if he’s not in town, checking in is a breeze.
Note that I haven’t edited these photos so you can see the view and studio apartment exactly as they are.
Unfortunately, this property is no longer listed on Airbnb, but I’ve found a similar property with an even better price per night ($131 per night) and an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. [Link to Airbnb listing]
I hope this blog post has been helpful, and I’d love to hear from you if you decide to book this amazing apartment!
Let me know if you have any questions about the apartment or anything else about Paris!
