We rented the apartment for 7 nights and paid an above average price expecting to stay in a comfortable and clean environment. We did not.

The apartment is very small and somewhat cluttered. The kitchen is located in a sort of hallway, but it is functional. The apartment has two bedrooms; however, it is actually one bedroom that has been divided into two smaller sleeping areas (for a total of one large bed plus two smaller beds). As a result, one sleeping area has limited closet/drawers space, and the other virtually none. We had to lay down most of our clothes on one of the smaller bed and other various parts of the apartment.

The apartment is located right above a small plaza with three restaurants. Nice to see, but noise at night is an issue. Closing the windows decreases the noise, but it increases the temperature inside the house making it difficult to sleep on hot days, like when we were there. We had anticipated the problem (from previous experiences) and asked for some fans; we did not get them.

There were no mops to wash the (not particularly clean) floors and the ironing board was dirty/rusty. There were also other items (in the small toilet drawer) likely left by other guests which limited the space to place our toiletry. The bathroom sink and bathtub did not drain well.

For our seven night stay, the host left one roll of tissue paper, no garbage bags, one used hand bar soap, dishwasher soap for only one load of dishwasher. Truly disappointing given the price.

While the house may have its charm, particularly in the dining area with the chimney and the window view overlooking the stairs leading to Sacré-Coeur, it could benefit from a thorough cleaning and some revamp.

This was my third time in Paris, and it is a beautiful city definitely worth visiting.
