The area is lovely, very busy and lots of traffic but quite central and lots of restaurants close by. The house is nice for the space and especially the garden but It can not fit as many people as advertised as loft room should not be counted as a room as it is very hot and noisy from the upstairs neighbours and can feel quite claustrophobic. There is a second mattress which is not usable as you would have to jump over the one mattress and people sleeping to get to it and it is also at an angle so not flat and you would roll off if you tried to sleep there. The middle bedroom downstairs is blocked by the other 2 bedrooms and so you have to walk through another bedroom to get to the rest of the house. It’s Ok if you’re a family but still not ideal.
The house was very dusty and full of cobwebs and spiders all over the place and lots of broken lamps and other personal effects. The cupboards and fridge were filled with half used food items of the owner and felt quite awkward. The kitchen is dark but fine. All of the kitchen equipment was unclean and had to be washed before used. The house was filled with personal items, jewellery, clothes, draws full or clutter so never quite felt like a holiday rental and more like staying at your aunts house. There are lots of rules, which are unclear, like leaving a light on during the day, you get a message so feel like you are being watched, which is quite disturbing. Apparently we were supposed to do a handover at the end, which is also unusual and it was miscommunicated. When asked what time we were leaving so she could arrange someone to come to the house (thinking she meant to clean) we said before 10 and so made sure we left before 10 and then received rude messages about having missed the handover.
The location was great and as I said the outside space but I wouldn’t stay there again and I would not recommend it for a family with children. There was an expectation for the flat to be spotless on departure, even though we had be there for 12 days and for even the bin to have been washed, despite paying for a departure clean, which I have never had with any other rental ever. We had such a great time in Paris so can overlook all of these minor issues, besides the expectation to have the apartment spotlessly cleaned on departure and the rude messages receive, especially since it was so dusty and grimy on arrival.
