The apartment was a disappointment. Everything was cheaply done and stingy. There was a kitchen area but no paper towels, no napkins, one paper bag as a garbage bag, only two metal forks and a bottle of dishwashing soap that had maybe two tablespoons of liquid in it. We got one bath towel and smaller towel each that was the thickness of a kitchen towel. She changed the towels after a few days but they were the same thin towels. The blankets were thin too. There was an extra old wool one that was poor looking. The days we were in Paris it was cold and rainy and we were cold. We asked about turning on the heat. "It's June in Paris" she said, not offering to show us how to turn on the heat. The same cheapness was true of the furniture. WE're talking one small table in the living area which doesn't accommodate more than two mac airs and a very small bedside table (on one side only). On the plus side the host greeted us, came over to show us how to work the cooktop, and offered to take us out for a drink. Also, the shower was very good and new. It's kind of a pity that with a little investment in the things mentioned there could be a big difference.
