Do not recommend. Where to even begin... Me and 3 friends rented this apartment for 4 months because we were studying abroad in Paris. Our time in Paris was amazing and I will say Le Marais is a wonderful neighborhood to be in especially for young people. However, we had a terrible experience with the apartment and with Laurent. First of all, when we checked in the apartment was dirty and not up to check in standards. We were told someone would stop by and clean the apartment and that was just not true. Next, at the beginning of our stay we had some friends over and got a loud which is our mistake. We talked to the neighbors apologized and told them that it would never happen again. They were very nice and understanding after talking to them. However, Laurent was not as nice. I received an email from him threatening to evict us and was not nice at all. I totally understand if he had emailed us in a nicer way and wanted to talk but his email was not nice at all. Moving on, when things weren't working properly in the apartment I would email him and he would say he would send someone to fix it but it would never be right away we would have to wait for a couple of days even though his office is walking distance from the apartment. The shower and sink were gross and were kind of clogged so we had to buy our own drain-o and fix it ourselves because it was so gross. Another thing is that the neighbors directly below the apartment have 3 kids. One is a new born baby and because the building is very old the walls are thin so we would constantly hear the baby crying very loud in the middle of the night. Also on weekends, the kids would pay in the courtyard in the early morning and would scream and yell on their scooters and since it was a courtyard everything echoes so we would be woken up early on the weekends. Not a great place to relax. Finally, in the check out contract it asks to please clean the dishes and take the trash out. We did that. We did not leave the apartment completely spot less clean because we were already being charged and expensive cleaning service to come in and clean from Laurent. However, we definitely did not leave the apartment very dirty. Due to a family emergency we had to change our flights a few days earlier than we stated so we weren't able to have Laurent come by with us there to review the apartment. But like I said, we made sure the apartment was not that dirty. I told Laurent that if he had any questions about the check out to email me. I received an email saying that the apartment was left "very dirty" and that he had to hire someone else to come...
