We were disappointed in our time in the unit. Many reviews use the words "cozy" and "multicultural." I apologize that I must be more honest and say, it is not a good neighborhood. We were accosted by aggressive beggars as soon as we got out of our car, and then again as soon as we emerged from the unit. There were drug deals going on right in front of us, and people using on the sidewalk in front of the door.
We did not know until we arrived that although there is tea/coffee/sugar/salt, etc. in the unit, the instructions make it clear that anything we use, we replace. So instead of trying to find a single teabag to replace, we went out to eat and have our coffee/tea. There are also instructions that we are responsible to remove our trash, so we ended up carrying it with us to the first rest stop on our drive out of town which had the appropriate recycle bins and trash receptacles.
Fabienne was wonderful to communicate with prior to our arrival. We were able to arrange for a reserved parking garage fairly close to the unit. There was apparently some miscommunication between her and Xavier, as she and I communicated throughout the day to let her know our driving delays and then Paris traffic, and when we arrived Xavier was not happy at all that the last he heard was that we would be there between 12:00 - 14:00 (our original plan) and he had never received the updates that we would be after 15:15.
If you do decide to rent this unit, also know that there is a code for entry on the main courtyard door, but after hours, the code does not work. This is ok, as the key has a fob that opens the door. This was not in the instruction sheets when we were there, and Xavier does not speak English, so if he told us, we didn't understand, so at midnight we were locked out of the unit on the street... My husband was able to reach Fabienne and she told us, but it took several calls and a returned call as she was on her way to a flight out of town.
