At first, I had a hard time getting a response from Quentin. I was trying to get directions to the apartment and set up a meeting time but I was not getting a concrete response. Once I arrived at Pere Lachaise, I had to go into a business to call Quentin as I had no phone service or wifi. I was told to wait for 10 minutes. Quentin did not arrive for 44 minutes. I was, naturally, quite upset. Once we met up, Quentin was nice and made up for the delay by helping me to keep in contact with the airline in regards to my delayed/lost baggage.
There were some positives and a few negatives about this location. First, the negatives:
1. It was difficult to make contact and set up a time and location for initial meeting.
2. Perhaps it is the make up of older buildings, but the kitchen and bathroom looked grimey and old.
3. There is on-going, extremely loud construction in the apartment just above Quentin's, between 8am and 5:30pm daily. Forget about sleeping in or day nap.
The positive aspects:
1. The location! Metro line 2 and 3 are almost directly in front of the apartment.
2. There are various cafes, mini supermarkets and other various shops just outside the door.
3. Complimentary towels and tea provided, and Quentin was quite helpful and communicative once I arrived.
All in all, I would recommend this location for a short stay, especially for the location.
