This apartment was in a fantastic location if you are doing all of the tourist activities. Close to everything. It is a good amount of space, beautiful and clean. Very ikea streamlined in its design. The entry and corridors have wonderful character and charm.
This was my first time not using a superhost and our last. I’ve never had to contact an owner with a request I felt like I was bugging the owner so never asked some of the questions I had and the most important questions received answers but no action.
Unfortunately we planned to move in and “live” for two weeks. A few days before our arrival and after we had departed on the initial leg of our travels the owner informed us there was a family member emergency and they would need the place back for a couple of days. That extended to another day after we were out. We made the best of it and were reimbursed for the days so saw some other spots. Not ideal and not planned but June in Paris so there were not other options. The owner is quick at response time which is appreciated but is very busy so didn’t fix the air conditioner, small portable unit, leaving us up all night sweating for the week we were there. Also didn’t give instructions for the washer/dryer just kept responding that we could use it. It is not in the unit but nearby. Read instructions and asked neighbors but couldn’t make it work. It also had the same load in it and on top of it our entire stay which we kept taking out and putting back in. Eventually just used laundromat.
All in all the space is wonderful. Other reviews suggest that our experience is not the norm. It could just be a case of family and work stress for the owner being more important than their guest’s experience, which is understandable, but for us sadly it meant our once-in-a-lifetime trip was not ideal.
