The apartment is located in the heart of Ile de la Cite, near Les Marais. The location is super and the apartment is nice. The host responds quickly and the key collection at check in is very efficient
However we experienced some problems during our stay (August 2022) for which we are in the process to ask a partial refound through AirBnb:
- The building is under maintenance/renovation, and this was not mentioned in the adv, and neither mentioned by the host before our arrival. The apartment description by the host is not transparent.
- Maintenance/renovation works going in the stairways of the building implies: dust everywhere, people working in the stairways with the planer, noise during the working days, quite a big hole in one of the step of the stairways, naked cables coming out from the wall. In general, definitely not safe/suitable for family with little children.
- The apartment (inside) was VERY dirty: due to the renovation works in the stairways, the pavement of the apartment was completely covered with a brownish dust/sand (which probably came into the apartment through/beneath the main door). As soon as we entered the apartment we had to vacuum and mop the floor to avoid spreading the sand everywhere just by walking around. Besides that, the apartment in general was not very cleaned: dusty was basically everywhere, including the dining table and the two coffee tables in the living room. Underwear forgotten under the bed ... I don't believe the apartment was cleaned the day we arrived, not even the days before. For sure, nobody has checked the cleaning status of the apartment before our check in....
- Pavement damaged in the living room (several tiles are movable and detachable from the floor): not safe for kids
- The shower holder is broken
In general, the apartment does not fulfill our expectations, and does not worth the money.
