This apt could be one of the coolest in Paris but at the moment it is dangerously run down. Most of the rooms have burt out lightbulbs or no lamps. The floors that are tiled are cracked and in some cases have sharp missing pieces without grout. The kitchen is without an oven and you can have fun using a microwave without labelled buttons. The hospitality aspect is also sorely lacking No soap, gross towels, a massive whole in the masterbedroom wall with a piece of cardboard leaned against it and in our case a completely broken and dangerous bathroom. THIS IS NOT AN APT TO BRING A SMALL CHILD TOO. The hospitality from Andre as a host is non exsistent. There was no soap, old food in the fridge and a housekeeper working late in to the night when we should have been able to enjoy the apt. Also there are major problems with google maps and this apt so use another meeting point for uber. The apt is located during the DAY in a redlight district. While the prostitutes are nice they arent necessarily what you want to see on a family trip. And they have their breasts out. Andre was unhelpful amd rude to us and seemed blame us for the long term issues of the apt which frankly could be easily fixed and the apt would be wonderful. After realizing there were issues with the faucets in the bathroom we texted andre and did not recieve a response. On bastille day eve the faucet was jammed in the on postition blasting water. We repeatedly reqched out and finally got Andre to respond. He then accused is of breaking his very old and crappy faucets and moaned about having to pay double to have to fix them on a weekend. Meanwhile we were unable to bathe (for days at this point we were bathing our child with great difficulty as the hot water was scalding hot and the cold faucet was stripped and hard to move). And we had to leave someone from our party in the apt to facilitate and execute the repair all day. For this we recieved only intense accusations of breaking the faucet and inconviencing our host during his holiday. Bottom line is this "could" be a great apt. But right now its in shambles. You need to be very cool with living in a broken and busted up flat that barley functions and into the red light district. It is not in marais but adjacent by a 20 minute walk and its really, really dirty. You will not be able to cook as there is no oven. And if you are lucky enougb to get the pdf describing the property you can sort of life hack the apt and make things useful. Bottom line is the neighborhood is great for adults, the apt is not in any condition to be rented and the host is absent and a rude american jerk. If...
