Juliette's place is in a fantastic location. She was very helpful upon our arrival, we were able to drop our bags off before check-in and she quickly showed us around the neighborhood grocery store before we left to explore Paris. She was helpful when giving us recommendations and directions around the city, which was much appreciated.
However, Juliette does have very high standards regarding cleanliness and organization. One of the days of our stay we were running late for a scheduled tour and we quickly cleaned the pan we used for breakfast and left some clothing on the bed. We left our two coffee cups in the room as we did not have time to clean them and didn't want them to be in her way when she entered the kitchen. Juliette had higher expectations than this, which is completely fair, however, she did not communicate her discontent with this in a way that you would expect if there was a problem. We came home later that night and we were unable to get into the apartment for close to two hours. Eventually, Juliette let us into the apartment, we realized only then that she had put her key in the door from the inside which was the reason that we were not able to get in. As soon as we walked in, we were told multiple times that we were disrespectful, had no respect for ourselves and we were not welcome in her home. This made us feel very embarrassed and degraded. We wish that she had communicated her unhappiness about the small mess in a better manner, but instead, she did not wish to let us respond or apologize for the issue. She did let us spend our last night there, but she made it very clear that we were not welcome and were not allowed to use her facilities upon waking up in the morning. During checkout, she didn't speak to us other than telling us to get everything and leave, she instructed that she was going to inspect the entire room before our leaving. She, in front of us, pulled back all the sheets of the bed and opened all the cupboards as if expected we had damaged her property. This made us feel very uncomfortable and belittled. All of these actions were very surprising on our end, and we never expected to walk in and receive the treatment we did for something that was completely unintentional and not done in spite. We believe that if she had an issue she should have communicated it in a better manner instead of locking us out and verbally degrading us.
Her house IS in a great location, and it is a very nice, but, she does have high expectations of her guests and if you aren't able to meet them, you may run into a problem.
