The apartment is on the top floor (5 flights of stairs – no elevator). The communal areas (stairway) is extremely poorly maintained (broken floor tiles, damaged hand rails), dark and dingy. The apartment is small, just wide enough for the sofa bed (~2.5m) and about 5 m long. The kitchen is extremely small and contrary to the description (hopefully now changed) - without a stove, pots and pans (just a small microwave). No comfortable chairs. The bathroom (also very small) has a small, cheap plastic shower unit. The area is convenient for Montmatre, metro, lots of bars and cafes, quite lively. The appartment reasonably quiet though sound proofing is not great and you can hear noises from neighbouring apartment, luckily they did not stay up late. It would be ok if you want somewhere reasonably cheap to stay and are not planning on cooking or spending any time in the apartment, except for sleeping. During my stay the host thought I was about to cancel the reservation because I was unhappy about the lack of cooking facilities (I didn’t cancel) and so placed the apartment with an agency. I returned late one evening to find the apartment occupied, and so ended up having to find a hotel - for one evening -until this was resolved. This was a stressful and disturbing experience. I suggest you check reviews for this host – she has other apartments on the site.
