Check in was complicated. I followed the directions but no one came to the door. I called the housekeeper’s phone but she didn’t speak English so I’m not sure how we would have understood the instructions for the apartment if it weren’t for my French speaking daughter. Turns out I was in the correct spot but the housekeeper didn’t answer the door.
The listing said that there is a sofa bed but it is only a sofa with a sheet put over it. I was disappointed to have to sleep on a couch for 3 nights. The loft area was a mattress on the floor rather than a “double bed”. The listing should have clearly explained that the apartment is on the 5th floor and there is no elevator. The stairs are narrow, winding and very uneven. Extremely difficult with full size luggage and you will need a shower when you get to the top. The rest of the place was just odd. The fridge was dirty and had the host’s food inside. The microwave was so dirty we didn’t want to put food in there. There was a used bar of soap in the shower which was gross. The hand soap in the bathroom had been watered down so it really wasn’t soap any longer. There are sticky notes on the kitchen cabinets saying “Private”. The balcony would have been very nice if it weren’t for all the dead flowers obstructing the view. It was spacious with a lot of natural light. Several fans kept the place at a nice temperature.
