Overall, Sebastian's property if comfortable, accommodating and a perfect located. We absolutely loved our first-time trip in Paris and look forward to staying again soon. Sebastian was incredibly accommodating as we came in a day earlier and his property wasn't ready, but he made it work for us by coordinating with his cleaning team to have the space ready upon our arrival. We were so appreciate of this as it certainly wasn't something he had to do, and made this possible for us. As a host, Sebastian goes above and beyond by providing recommendations, trip guides, instructions for the property, and helpful tips.
As for the property, it's very well kept. The elevator, though small, and and extreme help for us. Yes it's small, but you'll quickly learn to be grateful to have one at all. :) The property is spacious and overall clean. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen and used it often to make dinners in the evening. Also appreciated the comfort of the bed, the washing machine, the desk, and the windows which help open the space up. We found that cracking the windows at least sometime during the day really helps keep the air fresh as well. The safety is also nice; you have two entries that require fob access and the unit has a very safe lock on the door as well.
Some things we'd like improved: some of the dishes weren't cleaned. This wasn't too surprising as there's no dishwasher so you're most likely getting what the previous people left. But we found several pots and pans that were left sticky and some dishes that had food. Gave them a good wash but would be really helpful to have the cleaning team triple check the dishes. Also replacing or replenished shared items such as laundry detergent, hand soap, body wash, brand new sponge left in packaging etc could make the apartment feel a lot fresher. Definitely appreciated being provided these items at all, but especially during pandemic times if feels better to have some of these shared items replenished instead of just left for the next people. These bits, however, didn't too badly impact our experience because the property was beautiful and very clean otherwise. It's the only reason this review is 4 stars instead of 5.
Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and actually wish we could have extended our time. Sebastian is an incredible host and we appreciate the time he takes to upkeep the space. It's evident he doesn't just put his property up and use it as a cash cow. He genuinely cares about everyone's experience and it shows. We look forward to being back soon.
