David was kind and communicative. The apartment itself was cute and well decorated. Towels and sheets were clean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was strong and hot. The location was wonderful and for most part we walked everywhere - the 11th is full of cute neighbourhood area bars and restaurants, as well as very close to the 3rd. The apartment and area felt safe. These are all the basic essentials and David’s apartment delivered well on them. However there are other things people should realise while booking the apartment: The bathroom door can’t be closed so it will be hard for non-couples to stay here. There is some erotica on the walls. The apartment has constant traffic noise. The door sticks and is hard to open for some. The stairs are steep and fully five floors so it will be impossible for older people, those with big luggage, knee problems or breathing trouble to stay here. The outside of the apartment was full of dust and boards from a paint job and anyone with allergies like mine would find them fully flared up. We were able to manage and even enjoy the place but felt that disclosure around these downsides could have been better managed.
