Apt. Review
Here are the high points and low points of our one month stay at Alexander’s apartment. The high points are the location was perfect in the neighborhood we love which is close to Luxembourg gardens and the Marais on the other side of the river. The elevator to the fifth floor was a necessity and worked well and you only need to climb one set of stairs to the sixth floor. The windows had nice views at the top floor and when closed made the apartment very quiet. There was plenty of hot water and water pressure in the shower etc.
These are the low points. Our host did not meet us as promised at the apartment so we had to get the key different location which caused considerable chaos with our taxi driver. Once we got into the apartment we found it not cleaned. There were dust bunnies and wads of hair in the corners and under the bed etc. Once I emptied the vacuum cleaner it took me all of maybe 10 minutes to vacuum the whole place.The bathroom had not been cleaned so we had to go to the store and buy disinfectant and scrub the toilet, floor and shower. The bedding was very tired and we ended up buying two new pillows which we left there for the next arrival. We took the bedding off to get laundered and the bed pad had blood stains which was rather disgusting. It would not take but just a few dollars and a little effort to make this a nice stay with fresh bedding and cleaning which is essential in our opinion.
