Corentin was very kind, got us a car service to pick us up, met us and gave us the key. He was in quite a rush so instructions how to use things was a bit too limited. He only had keys for one person and when we asked for another set, his sister was supposed to get them for us, but she wanted us to wait between 9-1 for her. We said we didn't come to Paris to sit inside waiting for keys. The two of them were nice, but not aware of what it takes to make new people feels comfortable.

Corentin left us a bottle of wine, chocolate, and a map, so he was very thoughtful. But he's very busy with his dissertation and doesn't have the time to tell you, when you're jet-lagged, how a machine that washes and dries clothes works...new to us. He pointed in many directions to tell us where things were, but we were completely disoriented and it was all too rushed.

The bed was very comfortable, the tiny bathroom with a shower had no curtain so water soaked the floor and we had to keep cleaning it up. The reason I would never stay here again is that to go from the downstairs to the bed you see in the picture you must carefully climb up very tight spiral stairs, very dangerous, very hard to hold on. Once, because I had socks on,instead of shoes, I fell down the stairs and am still very bruised from bumping down the stairs. They should put strips on the edges of the painted stairs and no one over 50 should rent this because it's too hard to hold on to anything and walk at the same time. It's for young athletic people,and even though we walked about 6 hours a day, we found climbing the stairs difficult and dangerous every single time.
