Best Bits: Fabrice has a beautiful home, quintessentially Parisian, filled with gorgeous antiques and decor. I really appreciated his attention to detail with travel and tourist information and suggestions. I really valued him checking in with me throughout the week as well. The apartment is in a fantastic location and close to metro stations.
Areas for Improvement: I was disappointed with the level of cleanliness in the apartment, I found it to be a bit grubby, I had expected it to be professionally cleaned as I had paid for a cleaning charge. I think it would have benefited from a deep clean. On my day of arrival, arriving at my expected arrival time, I found Fabrice was still in the process of cleaning the apartment, which wasn’t ideal as I had to wait around for him to finish. Not what you want after a long day of travel! After my first night I wasn’t sure if the sheets were clean as they didn’t smell fresh (they smelt like they had already been slept in) so I ended up buying my own bedding to use. There was spare bedding but I didn’t think that smelt fresh either. I did bring this up with Fabrice who assured me the bedding had been recently changed and he had paid 25 euros to get it professionally cleaned.
On the whole good value for money. The only issue I had was the cleanliness. I probably wouldn’t stay in the apartment again but that’s not to say I wouldn’t recommend it as we all have different expectations 🙂
