The location of this apartment was great, and because it was tucked in and off the main street, it was quieter which was nice. They had some standing fans in the bedrooms which was helpful because we had some really hot days, so that was much appreciated.
The place was relatively clean and orderly, but the cleaner forgot to empty a full bathroom garbage and there were a lot of dust bunnies under the bed which should be taken care of.
Our biggest disappointment was the bathroom situation HOWEVER after visiting some family friends and their apartments in Paris, we learned that it is a very typical layout for Parisian apartments. Description says 2-1/2 baths but there are 3 separate rooms: one room has a toilet and sink, one room has a sink and shower, and the master bedroom has one bathtub and two sinks. 2-1/2 bath typically assumes 2 bathrooms with a toilet, sink, and shower/tub. A half bathroom assumes a toilet and sink. If you expect the Canadian or American description of 2-1/2 bathrooms, you will be disappointed. If you go in knowing the layout and that this is typical of Parisian apartments, than you will be fine. It’d be nice if the description clarified the bathroom layout more clearly.
When we first arrived and showered, the drain was clogged and piling up water at our feet so I informed Pierre of the issue and he took care of it the same day which was much appreciated.
We also informed the check in guest shortly after arrival that there was no cutting board in the kitchen (hence why there are existing knife marks on the countertops) and he told us to use a plate. We begrudgingly tried that for awhile but were getting quite frustrated with that since we cooked in quite a bit during our 2 week stay.
Pierre kindly checked in with us about halfway through and I let him know about a few issues about the apartment: the freezer kept leaking but we seemed to fix the problem ourselves by removing a huge chunk of built up ice at the base, the cupboard door above the sink kept falling and wouldn’t stay open, metal frame of microwave kept falling off and needs glued back on, there are no spare sheets in the apartment, and the kitchen was missing essentials. That same day after touring the city, we arrived back to the apartment to find a new cutting board, kitchen utensils, a strainer, and a pot holder sitting on the counter. That was much appreciated.
Overall, we were content with our stay but a few things about the apartment need addressed to make it more pleasant.
