The Magnifique Appartemente in Marais/Bastille was poorly cleaned prior to our arrival. Dirty floors, dirty countertops, and handprints on the glass. My wife spent an hour cleaning the apartment upon arriving. On our fourth day, when we wanted to use the combo washer/dryer, we discovered that it was full of wet and very moldy towels that had been there for at least four days.
The host, which appears to be a corporation, was not helpful. After we discovered the towels, my wife and I messaged the host about the overall cleanliness issues. It seemed that the host didn’t believe us, as we were asked to provide pictures in order to prove our claims. Even when we provided pictures of the moldy towels, the host asked that we provide pictures of the dirty floors, countertops, and windows (which we didn’t have, because we weren’t thinking about it at the time).
Due to the overall cleanliness issues, we asked the host to be reimbursed for the cost of one night of our stay (out of 5). The host declined.
The apartment is in a good location and, other than being dirty, it was as advertised. The sheets appeared clean and the appliances worked. Good shower head.
