The hosts were very friendly and responsive and the location of this apartment in the 14th Arrondissement is excellent. The apartment itself, however, needs some attention. It needs a good cleaning and some of the furniture and rugs need to be replaced. The lighting is not adequate, making it feel dreary. There is an overall lack of attention to detail. For example, several of the interior doorknobs are not installed properly. Also, the hand-held shower head in one of the bathrooms does not fit the holder on the wall, so you have to hold the sprayer the whole time if you shower in that bathroom. The bedding and towels could really use an upgrade. During our stay, the Internet was not working. This was likely outside of the control of the hosts, and to their credit, they did offer prepaid SIM cards for our phones, which we declined. Overall, it did not meet our expectations for the price.
