Parking does not exist (no on street parking)--if you are planning on having a car, be prepared to spend 40 euros a day for a parking garage (which is not near the apartment) or you can actually get a lower rate per week--I spent over $150.00 for parking for 5 days. I was told there was on street parking and parking garage around the corner. NO on street parking and garage was not around the corner. Host did not know the nearest garage and could not give me directions--he googled it. He does not drive car but if you are renting your apartment--you should probably know? Supplies in apartment: we had to buy toilet paper, soap for bathroom and paper towels. We were 5 guests with only 1 additional roll of toilet paper, 1 roll of paper towel and 1 extra garbage bag--this for 5 days. This should have been available in apartment. Host did not greet us--I find when a host greets you it allows you to ask questions. I felt he should have walked around apartment to explain how to use the AC, remote control for TV (navigating the TV--all in french), how to lock the front door--it was tricky (had to push the handle up while locking), how to use the dishwasher and washer/dryer. Explain where the nearest grocery store. Host requested we load up the washer with towels and our sheets prior to leaving as well as start the dishwasher. I found this strange considering he charged us a cleaning fee. Overall the apartment was nice and clean. It's in a loud area but you're in Paris--so somewhat to be expected. The prostitutes were not an issue as others have written--noticed them only once. I would recommend this apartment as it was very secure. I would suggest you request to meet the host in person to walk you through the apartment and answer any questions you may have.
