Sarah’s apartment was just like it appeared in the photos on AirBnB. We loved being on an “off the beaten track” street in Paris. The kitchen was well stocked with plates and utensils, coffee maker with good coffee in the cabinet (important for my husband and me). Great having a washer and dryer, but it took hours (literally) to dry our clothes. We also had to buy detergent, which would have been a nice amenity to have handy in the apartment since most visitors do not travel with laundry supplies. We did buy some at the supermarket and left them behind for the next visitors to the apartment.
The apartment is close to the Metro, which is important if you want to get to most places in Paris. Taxis are expensive and time consuming. There are also a few local restaurants worth frequenting. Sarah does a good job of providing information about neighborhood eateries as well as great directions (in her “blue book”) of how to access the apartment, use the washer/dryer, turn on the TV and dishwasher, and even how to call a taxi. All great information, which we used.
Some recommendations for enhancement are:
1.	Provide more than one hand towel and one face cloth. I had to use a dish towel for a hand towel.
2.	Provide a waste basket in the toilette. I used a plastic bag and hung it from the towel warming rack. (Not very aesthetic!)
3.	Provide at least a couple of tide pods to do laundry.
4.	Provide a hanger to hang laundry that is not dry or which we do not want to dry.
5.	And, please provide dishwashing detergent. We had to buy our own, which we also left in the apartment.
6.	And, please provide bath soap or body wash for the shower. We also had to buy our own soap.
If we had known that the above amenities were not provided, we would have brought our own from home.
Also, important to note is that if you have allergies to mold (which my husband has), this apartment is not for you. The apartment building is historic, which we loved, but is also in need in greater maintenance. The bedroom window opened to a courtyard that was very dirty and we could see and smell mold. Also, the walls in the hallway of the building are peeling and in need of a good paint job.
So, there are positives and negatives for this apartment. All in all, it served us relatively well. But, then again, we are somewhat flexible and go with the flow. If you are not that kind of person, you might be disappointed.
