The view in this flat is next to none! We loved the view!
Unfortunately we were let down with poor communication from the host. We hadn’t heard from the host in 3 weeks up until we checked in despite messaging her a couple times. The instructions to find the keys for the flat were very cryptic despite asking for clarification of where to find the keys. I had to leave my elderly mum on the public street with our suitcases while I set off to try and find the location of where the keys were kept. Thankfully a very lovely neighbour ended up helping my mum into the communal area of the flat while she waited for me to return which we were so thankful for.
I finally found the location of where the keys were held and was told by the shopkeeper I would need a code which had not been provided. This was very stressful while I skimmed through all messages from the host and could not find this. Finally after ringing the host a few times and messaging her she provided us this code and the flat number/floor. The codes to get into the flat were also not provided until we prompted the host for them.
Instructions to find the flat could have been much better we felt.
It unfortunately was a very stressful start to the trip especially after arriving to the flat address just before dark.
There were some pests in our flat when we arrived which were unfortunate. We had to keep cleaning the kitchen area where these pests were found however they kept sadly reappearing.
Clara seems a very lovely host however and maybe this poor communication was just a one off as she was very apologetic.
Despite the stress I would recommend this flat to anyone visiting Paris. The views were outstanding. The decor is brilliant and felt very Parisian. And the security of the flat was great - we felt entirely safe.
