I have stayed in many rental apartments in Paris so
I have good amount of comparisons I can make. This was by far the worst experience.
1) inadequate kitchen supplies. i.e. no microwave. How do you expect your guests to warm up their food. No proper pans
2) Room very dusty
3) extremely cold. Heating system not adequate. Using space heaters to supplement the heating system for the price I paid for the apartment is not acceptable. The windows are not properly built so there was cold air draft coming into the bedroom. I had to use pillows to block the cold air. The heated towel rack in the bathroom was not working.
4) No hand towels or wash cloth
5) No initial hand soap or body wash
6) only one key to share among the 3 guests and the key lock was not functioning.
7) Poor and unacceptable customer service. After I complained about not having microwave and that the bathroom towel rack was not working no effort was made to address it so I had to take shower in a cold bathroom and heat up the milk in a frying pan.
I will definitely complain to the city authorities.
