We enjoyed our stay. The location is great! The place is authentic. Spacious for Paris. Michael is very responsive. It is kept clean & the downstairs is nice & open, but there is no toilet downstairs & the stairs are dangerous - even when one is not rushing to the toilet. When we arrived, sewage smelled covered the front bathroom & seeped into living space. Maintenance came twice & finally resolved.
Word of caution (not to be taken lightly): The stone stairs leading to the downstairs are highly dangerous. Six of our guests from ages 5 - 46 fell down or up the stairs while using caution. Regardless of socks, shoes, or barefeet, everyone struggled with the stairs & there is not full railing. When reported, Michael expressed concern, but reported that no one has complained. This warning is not just for the mobility impaired, obese, aging, toddlers, etc. It is for everyone!
We enjoyed the apartment-but no toilet downstairs, sewage, & dangerous stairs decrease rating.
