After reading a lot of positive reviews about this B&B, we were surprised by the lack of attention to detail in running this B&B.
Sylvie's apartment was modern, clean and well laid out. But the overall experience could have been improved with a few simple changes and communication with the listing
We had emailed Sylvie back and forth before our arrival, and she had organised for the building's 'gaurdien' to give us the key and show us to the unit. This did not happen. Sylvie had left the key in an envelope with no instructions on how to get to the apartment or where it was. This so called 'gaurdien' was unhelpful and downright rude. She also spoke absolutely no english and let us know that we were taking up her 'valuable time' . Eventually she showed us where the apartment was under great sufference.
When we got into the apartment it was very clean & tidy.
For our 3 day stay, we found there was only 1/2 roll of toilet paper supplied. Fortunately there is small supermarket right next to the apartment building, so we able to buy some ourselves.
There was no information provided, on how to get to the metro station, call a taxi or how to get to any of the major attractions in Paris.
There was also no information on how to use any of the appliances in the apartment.
Sylvie did her best to help us, and responded promptly if we sent a message, but we feel this is an amateur attempt at running a B & B.
When we booked the apartment on-line, we had no idea that it was Sylvie's main home, and as such it contained all her clothes and personal belongings including all the items in her fridge.
The so called 'balcony' has dead plants on it alongside the table and chair, and looks out over very ugly concrete grotty buildings.
If we had known what we were actually getting for the money, we would probably have booked into a 4 star hotel instead.
