While the is apartment is in a very central location, which is great for walking around the central part of Paris, we found it to be unacceptably dirty: Dishes not cleaned (no dishwasher, so you're depending upon the prior guest's dish cleaning ability), dirty sink sponge, dirty microwave, dirty water heating pot, linens didn't seem like they had been washed prior to our arrival. The shower drained verrry slowly, resulting in each of us standing in a pool of soapy water while showering. The shower also has mold in the corners. Note that the apartment does not look out onto the street. Instead, the windows "look out" onto a central light shaft/small courtyard which is not accessible. Not the nicest view. Overall, if having a central location in Paris is paramount, you may want to consider this apartment, but I would recommend you only do so if the host(s) make a concerted effort to do a through cleaning and keep it that way.
