This is a charming space, and very well-situated in the Marais. A family of four can stay here for around $200/night if they don’t mind walking up stairs to the top floor, and enjoy separate bedrooms. The apartment has so much atmosphere and a warm, bohemian feeling. But there were a number of issues with cleanliness and the space being in fundamentally poor repair. The bathroom was dirty, with a broken toilet seat, cabinet with a door falling off its hinges, filthy tiles and walls, etc. So many things in this space are broken, dented, scuffed. Preparing meals is very problematic as the fridge (not clean, and with the host’s food in it) and main dining table are on the main floor, and the small kitchen is up above. To make a meal requires an enormous amount of shuffling food and dishes up a tiny, steep set of stone stairs. The kitchen sink has cold water only, and the knob kept falling off the faucet. The dishwasher tipped over when being loaded. In the master bedroom, there was scarcely any space to put anything, save some hangers on a rod for clothing. The bedside table had only several inches of space to set down a book or phone or clock. Otherwise there was no available surface to stash anything, and the wardrobe was full of the owner’s clothes, with no free shelf space. Basically this is like staying in an artist friend’s charming garret, but they didn’t bother to fully tidy up before you arrived, and instead you are in a stranger’s home, and paying for the privilege of living with all their stuff while on holiday.
