The apartment was much as advertised although maybe a little tired. Mariam was very quick to respond to a couple of issues we had and gave very clear instructions on the entry procedures.
Pros : fantastic location close to Metro, many restaurants, shops and tourist venues. It was spotlessly clean with large bed- and bathrooms. Very quiet at all times.
Cons : quite a few minor maintenance issues which would be so easy to fix. These included a broken tap in one bathroom, several broken or flickering light bulbs, broken handle on one of the bedroom doors (so it could not be closed) etc. The kitchen area is not adequate for cooking meals but is fine for breakfasts, snacks and so on. The courtyard is rather grubby but it did allow us to have our windows wide open (except for the 2 or 3 which wouldn’t open). One bedroom had no drawer space at all which meant we couldn’t unpack our cases during the stay.
Overall we had a great stay and would recommend the apartment to a group of people visiting Paris. However future visitors should be aware of the few annoying problems we faced. Hopefully these will be fixed up promptly.
