This may have once been a luxurious apartment but it's now filthy & dilapidated with non-functioning basics such as appliances, electrics, water and taps. It looks nothing like the photos IRL. The carpets are filthy -- if you walk barefoot, your feet are quickly black -- with cigarette burns throughout the apartment and the entire apartment smelling of stale cigarette smoke, which they tried to mask by lighting candles prior to our arrival. The kitchen countertops and bathrooms tiles are covered in limescale and soap scum and in the bathrooms, mold. The apartment is missing basic necessities such as hangers and towels and has only four plates, bowls, mugs and few utensils in the kitchen, all of which were dirty & had to be washed prior to use. The electrics are the worst. There is a harsh bright ceiling light in the dining area right outside the 2nd bedroom which cannot be turned off ever. The staff have never been able to figure out to turn it off. The safe is tiny, difficult to access as it sits on the floor under a shelf in the closet and doesn't work anyway; the Hong Kong owner says he bought it 7 years ago and no longer has the instructions ...so then don't advertise a safe. The kitchen electrics stopped working two days after we arrived so no lights in kitchen at all. There is an old non-working washer still fitted in the kitchen and a new one but no instructions for either the washer or stove. An electric kettle has a plug that is not French so unusable. The main bedroom is painted brown and has one small working lamp so quite dark and dingy. The second lamp cannot be used because all of the electrical outlets are used for the router/electrical equipment supplying the Wi-fi. You cannot plug your phone into any outlet near the bed. The supposed "hotel quality" bedlinen is old Ikea with uncomfortable cheap foam pillows while the bathroom amenities included a shower cap, mouthwash, vanity kit & lotion but not necessities such as shampoo, soap or body wash. By the look of them, these cheap freebies from a hotel have been on the bathroom counter for 10 years. It didn't matter to us as we brought our own but the apt description is totally misleading, as are the photos which depict a bright apt with white carpets when in reality, it's a dingy apartment with dirty grey carpets and furnishings. The windows have a linen covering over them because you are directly overlooked by adjacent apartments so the apartment is never bright unless you open the windows and everyone else can see straight in from every window. The 2nd bathroom mirrors lights did not work at all and the shower stall was so gross with mold that my daughter used the shower over tub in our bathroom which wasn't clean either but nowhere near as bad as the other shower. Only one side of the tap in the tub works so you cannot change the water temperature. We were only provided four bath towels for the entire 8 night stay for 3 people and when we requested more, a bag of old stale smelling rough hand towels & bathrobes was left outside the apt door but no bath towels. Both bedrooms are hot and uncomfortable but it's not possible to sleep with the windows open as the apartment is directly above a David Yurman store and not only are employees working late -- voices echo very loudly in the courtyard -- but there were workmen banging all night for two nights. The only good thing about the apartment is the neighborhood. It's got great restos and walking distance to everything we wanted to see. But the actual location of the apartment in this building is not great because of the noise from the David Yurman store directly below. The building itself has an immaculate entryway, hallway, elevator, courtyard. We tried to find a hotel to move to but couldn't find anything suitable so we made the most of a bad situation and did not let this horrible apartment spoil our visit. We had a great time in Paris but would never stay here again and wanted to warn others. I had to wash or dry clean every single item I brought with me as it all smelled from this place. The previous positive reviews are for an apartment that no longer exists. The young man who was our point of contact was nice and tried to be helpful but there was nothing he could do about this poorly maintained apartment. On our last night, a bottle of wine and a bottle of fizz were dropped off, possibly instructed to do so by the owner as I had sent a massage about how horrible the apartment is and how deceptive the photos are. We left them in the fridge and very happily departed this horrible apartment!
