We had mixed feelings about this apartment. First, the great thing is the location. Saint-Germain-des-Prés is an excellent neighborhood and close to everything. Also, the apartment is good in many ways (good decor, uncluttered, has everything you'll need) but needs a couple of fixes. Little things like missing light bulbs, a non functioning floor lamp, and a shower head that doesn't function as well as it should. Our main issue is that there is only one key & fob to get into the apartment/building. My husband and I had separate plans when we were in Paris and had to rearrange our schedule because one of us would be locked out if the other one had the key. Imagine if you only had one key to your own home ... doesn't work out very well. I've never rented an apartment anywhere else with this issue, including apartments in Paris. We tried communicating this to the host and got nowhere. We were told we could use Keycafe (a locker type box with an app) at the laundromat down the street. Unfortunately, that didn't work out either since the keypad was so worn out that several numbers didn't function and we were worried that we would not be able retrieving the keys. The whole thing was an unnecessary exercise in futility. My husband tried calling the host about this issue and she hung up on him, several times (he was not being rude or disrespectful). Lastly, the neighbor is a smoker and if you have the windows open, you will smell cigarette smoke. I know there's nothing the host can do about this and is no reflection on the host, just a FYI.
