The location is great and views are stunning. For the money, it is good value to be this close to such a lot in Paris.
The cleanliness was not great. From the floor being dark grey when I cleaned indoors, the door handles had several sticky patches and the shower tray was not clean with hairs stuck in it like it had been rinsed but not cleaned.
The communication from the owner was excellent throughout. Very prompt in replying and trying to help dealing with problems.
The check-in was awful. To put this in context, there are two entrances to the flat. We (a family of 4 with two small children) we’re taken through the front entrance where there was waste water (kitchen, bathroom - who knows which), all over the entrance floor and actively dripping into a wheelie bin and splashing across the entrance. Tired from travelling, we didn’t quite clock what had happened, but upon realising and then confirming with the maintenance folks that it was indeed “l’eau d’egout, we realised that our bags, clothes, shoes and feet in sandals were then soiled. The person helping us in and the owner did not show much sympathy, but did help us to find the alternative entrance that we used for the remainder of our stay. This matter was really frustrating, unnecessary as we could have come through the other entrance to start with, but it made the situation of arrival unsanitary and required a whole clean up of the flat’s floor too after we’d walked through the waste water.
The flat is the owner’s home. This was evident as there wasn’t space to put our shower washing stuff, and things like the bar stools, dishwasher, toilet room door handle, bedroom patio doors to name a few things were a bit broken or in bad shape and in need of fixing.
The check-out was good as the owner allowed us extra time to stay save us dragging our luggage across town. We appreciated that as a gesture given the check-in situation.
