Stayed here while attending an academic conference at the university nearby. The apartment is a great location in the latin quarter. Close to metro, bus, and great restaurants. She’s very responsive. We arrived to Paris early, but couldn’t check in until 2pm, but she gave us the code to store our luggage in a locked storage closet, so we were able to enjoy the city without lugging around our baggage. The apartment is perfect size for 2 people, any more I would imagine would get a little crowded. When we checked in, the air conditioning unit was leaking. We informed Dominique, who was prompt in trying to resolve it. It took a couple tries but by the fourth day it was completely resolved. So, we just had to avoid the wet spot on the carpet until it dried. Be aware if you are staying in the bedroom up in the loft space that the ceiling is quite low. As a moderately tall person, I kept forgetting that and often bumped my head or had to bend my body awkwardly going up and down the stairs lol oops.
One lesson learned is to report all incidents as they happen, even if they seem minute. It would have been helpful if there was proper house cleaning materials in the apartment, for when incidents happen. I accidentally knocked my wine glass over one of the nights and there was nothing in the apartment to appropriately clean it up with and with my busy conference schedule, I didn’t have time to go to the store to locate the appropriate product (especially given the language barrier), but that’s why we pay a cleaning fee. After my stay, the host asked me to replace her kitchen counter top, buy a new sofa, and pay for someone to repaint her walls for very minor stains that I would have easily resolved if I had access to the supplies in the USA. I was happy to relinquish my $273 security deposit because I do admit fault, but we disagree on whether that is sufficient enough on top of the $60 cleaning fee, so it is in corporate’s hands now.
