The flat has some good points and a great potential: well located, very romantic with its window on the floor, not to small (as often are flats in Paris!). However, Pierre should make some important (and not expensive) renovation in order to let people feel in a clean and salubrious place: the carpet in the bathroom stinks (just remove it, carpets are not practical and hygienic in a bathroom!), the toilet seat is broken, walls need new painting, the kitchen needs at least some silicone to avoid water sinking in everywhere making the whole place damp... In short, everything needs maintenance. We were two with a baby, and we prefered covering the sofa with plastic bags before putting the baby's clothes on it -- that's just an exemple. I think Pierre would be glad to make this little effort: he seemed to me someone who cares about his lodgers and he was kind to us (for example: at the moment we got in the flat, there was just one shower towel and no kitchen towel; I asked Pierre if it was possible to have some and he brought it in a few hours).
