Simon's place is great! the apartment is spotless, the heat is working perfectly, the location is unbelievable (right across the street from the Louvre). there is good wifi, clean sheets and the bed is comfy. There was an issue with the other apartment being rented to a guy who had a HUGE PARTY and I realize it was New Year's Eve, but he kept us up till after 430am. the smoke was in the hallway from cigarettes and pot. and the music was at a 10 the entire time on Rave channel which was annoying. Simon was out of town so he wasn't able to go there to fix the problem. We literally asked the guy 6 times to tone it down after 3 am but nothing worked. I am giving Simons place all 5's because it's cute, and it wasn't his fault some people are jerks. the bathroom is too tiny to towel off in so this is strictly a sleeping place, not a full apartment. There is a little staircase and there are 3 locks by the time you are in your room so it's safe. the only thing we would have changed is we would have liked better pillows as they were super flat and only two of them, but that's not really an issue, just a request. We were here for New Year and we did have a blast in the neighborhood. Try the Royal Cafe around the corner if you are here, it's fantastic! there is a Starbucks on the corner so you are set for coffee. the apartment has a sense coffee maker and there was even a couple of pods for us. all in all a great stay-minus the jerk. maybe needs better pillows and another little side table for the bed. other than that, the place is perfect!
