PROS
- cute neighborhood/very convenient to central Paris, although the unit is on the first floor, so you hear quite a bit of street noise if you leave the windows open since there's lots of nightlife outside.
-first floor, it has an elevator, easy with bags.
CONS
- hopefully this is fixed by now, but when I stayed there there was *NO* toilet seat on the toilet. I immediately messaged management; they said they'd "ordered one." It is 100% unacceptable to rent an apartment at that price without a toilet seat - even prisons have toilet seats - and no excuse that it "hadn't arrived." Go to BHV, which is walking distance, and buy a toilet seat. If you were staying here with kids, they would fall in the toilet if they had to sit down.
- the handheld shower has no hook, so you have to either hold it or leave it on the ground and make sure it doesn't spray over the shower glass. Very inconvenient and easily remedied with another trip to BHV.
- One of the main reasons I chose this apartment was that it advertised that it has Air Conditioning - I'm sorry but I'm American and willing to pay extra for that luxury. It does have AC - above the front door. Because of the apartment's layout, the AC does not cool the bedroom, which is, of course, the most important room to have be cool if you like AC. Luckily, they provided oscillating fans, but had it been just a few degrees hotter the bedroom would have been unbearable.
- the cooktop was hard to use/didn't work. perhaps I missed a note from management, but I also have an induction cooktop at home and could not figure this one out.
- the washing machine works, but I could not figure out the dryer. Management should consider leaving instructions manual for the washer as well (if I missed this info, please ignore this one).
- closet space is minimal, which is fine, but I wouldn't advise more than a couple or two VERY good friends to stay here (once management buys a toilet seat).
- Perhaps these have also been fixed, but the "privacy blinds" in the bedroom, are very sad and bedraggled. They look like they were pilfered from a suburban insurance office that went out of business. Dusty. Damaged. Distressed.
