Pros: *Location in Passy. It’s close to the RER C Boulanvilliers station, not far from La Muette Metro station, and a bit of a hike to Passy and Trocadero. At the end of the street is the wonderful Aux Merveilleux de Fred and the pedestrian market street Rue de l’Annonciation. *Quiet. The apartment is on an interior courtyard and it was very quiet. We slept very well in the big, generally comfortable bed. *Enough space for two adults. But toilet room is narrow and tight for a grown man. He couldn’t close the door. *On the first (American) floor, no elevator, but nice big stairwell. *Generally OK communication with the team.
Cons: Several:
*Dusty. *Messy, dirty closets (I cleaned and cleared out the one in the bedroom so we could use it). *Stained roller shades in the kitchen. *Wonky, complicated water heater. *No instructions on how anything worked.
*Only two big towels, one small face towel, and one bath mat for 2 adults for 8 nights. *Most of the lights were not working and the technician had to come to replace or repair. But then the bathroom and kitchen lights flickered on/off, probably because of a bad fixture. *Sheets were very scratchy.
*Meager start up supplies. They did have toilet paper and a small bar of soap but we bought dishwashing detergent, hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. *There was no wine opener or wine glasses! *Expensive for what we got.
Summary: The apartment could be awesome! It’s in a great location, is quiet, and the space is good, with beautiful crown moldings. But it feels neglected and tired because the details—like cleanliness, working lights, quality linens, and basic supplies like wine glasses—are neglected. We might again stay on a subsequent trip mostly because of the location.
