This unit is in a fantastic location, right near Notre Dame Cathedral and right around the corner from the iconic bookstore Shakespeare and Company which became our meeting point and base of operations.

We were met by a person (not the host) who hastily let us into the unit and did not show us how to use any of the appliances or heaters. The unit is up six flights of stairs, so factor that into your decision making, especially if someone in your party is unable to climb stairs easily. While it sleeps four, if you want more room, two would work well because it is small. When we walked in, there was a smell like it has just been sprayed for bugs. There was also a slight smell of sewage. We discovered the unit was not clean and we bought supplies and wiped down all the surfaces. In particular the kitchen counters were very sticky. The bathroom was also not clean, especially the floors and shower. There was mold in the shower. There was a decorative container next to the bed that contained debris and hair (looked like a pot pourri holder). It appears the unit had not been well cleaned over a period of time.

When I alerted the host so he was aware for the next guests, he said he would have sent another cleaning crew in. But, we did not feel comfortable with this since all our possessions, including valuables, were already there. I did not hear from him again.
