Our biggest upset was that there was NO HEAT when we arrived. The host should’ve gone early that day or the day before to turn it on. There are large stone pillars and the floors and walls all took a day and a half to heat up. We had to immediately go out because it was so cold in the apartment. The temperature was -1 those first couple of days of our stay in Paris and we were miserable huddling around the radiators.
The large space is nice when you are traveling as a family of six adults but there is only a two person loveseat and chair to sit on. As well, the two single beds were not long enough for adults. The apartment was only acceptably clean. We washed the dishes and appliances before using. The second bathroom shower flooded out of the bathroom and drained very slowly after they attempted to fix it. The bracket holding the shower head fell off the wall. There was no bracket, only the holes in the tile where it had been, in the working bath so you had to hold it for a shower. Tricky when doing your hair. The bedside lamps, only provided in the master, were not working. They replaced them with lamps but NO SHADES so the bare bulbs glared brightly while reading in bed.
My overall comment about this rental is that the host is collecting his money and doing as little as he can to earn it. It’s a shame he is so cheap and thoughtless because the location is great. It’s a nice open space. He needs to clean, furnish, maintain the apartment and TURN THE HEATER ON when tenants are expected!!!!!!!!
