We were so happy to get an early check-in after having arrived from Australia. Unfortunately the apartment wasn’t as clean / well presented as we had expected it to be. There were obvious food stains and debris on the sofa from the previous guests, the floors were dirty and only one bed was made up. There was a light bulb missing from the bedroom lamp, no dish towels, and, while there is a washer, there was no way to hang laundry to dry. Mercedes was very responsive to our complaints, offering to arrange another clean and stopping by on the same day to replace the missing items.
On the whole, the apartment could do with a deep clean (especially to deal with the bad smell in the shower), and a bit of an update.
Otherwise, Mercedes’ apartment is in a great location for seeing everything Paris has to offer. It is spacious and good-value for money by Paris standards. Though, it is really best suited for 1-3 people max for longer stays as there is limited space for luggage, laundry, and relaxing, etc. Mercedes is a great host and seems to genuinely care about making sure her guests have a positive experience.
