The apartment was very clean and overall very nice and functional.
We did have a problem with the washing machine and had to wash our clothes a few blocks away at a street laundry. He was about to fix it as we left
The apartment is in good dhape but the bathroom has or had an infiltration on the ceiling and It looks ugly. But It's just the look of It.
The elevator does exist but It's very old and very small.
At one point we stupidly locked ourselves out of the apartment and due to bad luck Elies was abroad on a trip with the spare leys. Also the door is a special kind that the locksmith couldn't open. We did have to sleep one night in a hotel, but Elies was helping us all the time from abroad and did everything he could. He was very helpfull. I think It's a lesson for him to leave a spare key in Paris next time we visit ;).
