It was all in all ok. Location is really perfect! It is in lovely neighbourhood, noble area , with plenty of stores and supermarkets 2 min away. It is also good connected.
The flat itself was nice at the first sight. What I didn`t like are grumpy neighbours, who used to knock the walls even when I was brushing my teeth (eletric tooth brush). The walls are crazy thin, and could hear the people all the time. The building is old, so the flat has a bit of moldy smell. It is not that bad though. I didn´t see any window in bathroom, just the cartoon glued on the hole?? Since it was windy and cold in Paris while staying there, not having a window helped the cold air circulate. On the other side, we´ve had a heater per each room, so it was enough to make it optimal warm.
The kitchen is very functional, with microwave, dish washer, washing mashine, coffee mashine, water heater and some basic groceries. All in all, very good equipped.
The furniture was nice as well.
Living room has neither blinds or curtains, the host lives in flat just next to this one and always can have a look through these huge windows ( I am not saying he does the looking, but the feeling is not just that comfortable).
The flat was clean except the beddings (approx. 1-2 day use old, with some new stains - saliva or whatever.) That is what I didn´t like at all. All the rest was fine.
Communication: I got plenty info prior to my arrival, which is was good. The deal was in case of any changes (flight delay or so) to inform on time.
My flight was punctual, and we arrived as planned.
As soon as I landed I tried to call Nicolas,but I couldn´t reach him. We took Uber then and while driving there, I called several times and texted, but I still couldn´t get him. When we finally arrived (after 50min), I called him again and still couldn´t reach him. Ok, I slowly started panicking in myself. Luckily after some 10-15 min of waiting there, I got a call and he said he´s coming. He arrived then shortly after.
The guy who came apologized and said he needs half an hour to make the flat clean. We understood and just took a walk. The guy who came wasn´t Nicolas, and I don´t know who this was (maybe his brother, since they slightly look alike). I had to practice using the keys, which was fine - I guess that was because of some negative experiences. I got some rules, like not walking in shoes because of the noise - that was fine as well, I don´t wear shoes even when I am at my home, but I got those knocking here even walking barefoot.
The another rule was not using the phone in the bedroom- hee,a bit odd, but ok. Since I wasn´t calling much, I could adjust.
When I checked out, that was the first time I saw Nicolas. All was fine and quick, since my Uber driver was almost there to pick us up to the airport.
