This apartment was in a great area: lots of supermarkets, restaurants, cafés and parks and close to metro. The inside was decorated with style and high-quality products (linen, dishes, etc). On top of it Marie respondes kindly and quickly to all our messages and made sure to keep on top of everything - she really went above and beyond to provide everything we needed. However, the entry hall of the building and the patio where the apartment is located are decrepit and unclean. Plus the dustbins are right on the door of the apartment.
The apartment itself is minuscule (much smaller than the photos suggest), dark (barely any natural light) and damp. It doesn’t have much ventilation and you can barely open the windows. On top of it, the apartment is not at all soundproofed and the neighbors kept us awake many a night - they weren’t particularly loud, it just feels like there isn’t a wall. The bathroom is right in the living room, the sliding door doesn’t close completely and everyone can see you AND hear you clearly from the outside - no privacy whatsoever making it very uncomfortable. On top of it all, the apartament has a HUGE problem with the plombing in the bathroom. We made use of the installation in a reasonable way, but the very last day the toilet clogged. We tried to somewhat fix it and it was impossible. The pipes in the toilet, sink and shower must be connected for water started coming out of the shower drain. At least it happened on our last day, would it have occurred any sooner, we wouldn’t have been able to stay.
