This flat is a lovely little space, on a great and bustling street in the Marais. It has the traditional Versailles wood flooring, gorgeous Parisien windows and balconettes, modern appliances and finishes. Below is a famous ice cream shop and across the street, famous macarons. It's close to Hotel de Ville metro, the Seine and everything central.
Though we were excited about these things, we were let down by many others. In our eight nights there, we barely slept. The bedroom is not on an interior courtyard as I was told, but rather ON the stairwell. There's literally a floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom into the stairwell and people come and go all night long, with their loud doors slamming, including the giant building entry door that also slams, and loud stairs - all resonating into the bedroom. Important to be aware of. The sofabed is easy to set up but the street noise coming in the windows beside this bed, because the block is so busy, goes late into the early morning hours. Good to know as well.
In addition, unfortunately, we didn't feel as though Cedric was there to be of help. In fact, he often told us to message him via the platform, versus WhatsApp as his instructions say to do. He'd often not answer our questions so I had to ask them many times over which is not fun.
One example was I had to ask for the code into the building, upon arrival, that he repeatedly said was in an email and was not. I showed every persona I was with and nobody saw it. This was extremely frustrating. It wasn't until many back and forths like this, that I begged him to send it - that he finally did.
Another was when we couldn't get the washer/dryer to dry, he was of no help - resent a silent video he'd made that didn't show anything relevant and told me to Google it. I inquired where to take the trash out and had to ask multiple times until he finally answered. Things like this...
This experience interfered with our holiday flow, and could really have been avoided with just some personal attention and thoughtful communication. When your host seems rushed and annoyed, or ignores your questions completely, it's not so welcoming. I was surprised by this as I've been a host a long time, and can't imagine not making every attempt to have my guests feel comfortable and have all the information they need. Alas.
Hope this helps you decide on booking or not. This is my aim in sharing.
