This was a very disappointing experience for my family. We had a 2 week trip through France and England one of the “highlights” was supposed our apartment in Paris. The location seemed perfect. We paid over 2X the cost of any other location on our trip. Decided to “splurge” in Paris. Complete regret now.
The only positive is the location. It’s great. Right on the river across from Notre Dame and the Louvre. Be ready for noise though, especially if on the pullout couch. We brought earplugs for our two teenage boys and they slept fine.
The flat unfortunately is basically in terrible shape and clearly is not kept up. Broken toilet seat that will not stay attached to bowl. So need to balance yourself on it. (Woman beware.) Multiple burned out light bulbs with no replacements so kitchen is super dark. Dust on furniture so no cleaning for a few weeks at least. Massive stains on the sofa which make it look like something you’d see in a fraternity house or a Goodwill store. Shocked at the difference between photos and actual appearance. Only one fan for the entire flat so if it’s hot you will sweat.
Worst part of the experience was the poor communication. Just simply a mess. We arrived with wrong information on who would greet us so I spent the day “communicating” with a phantom (who never replied, btw that he was not our greeter). When we arrived no one was there. We waited 10 minutes in the street with all our luggage before a man stuck his head out the window and let us in. We tried calling the host. No answer. Think number on website is wrong as it was a number in Portugal.
So basically you are paying for location. Host is essentially unresponsive. Flat had multiple issues that need attention. It’s way overpriced to be in this state of disrepair. Would recommend you look elsewhere to find nicer accommodations at this price point. Sorry to leave this bad review but one of the worst places we’ve stayed and we have traveled all over the world.
