The apartment was absolutely beautiful. I loved staying here.
The host company, however, was thoroughly unhelpful and at times unresponsive.
For example: before I arrived, the host mentioned the apartment didn’t have a full-sized trash cash and that they could acquire one for my stay. When I followed up after my arrival (several times), the host either avoided the question or chose not to respond altogether. Not a huge deal, but it did mean I spent a month living in an apartment with a single, ~6 inch wide trash can.
Likewise, when I mentioned I was unable to access the courtyard with the key they’d provided to dispose of my trash, they directed me to ask a neighbor for help. Again, not a big deal, though my French is very limited so it made what should have been a pretty routine activity (taking out the trash) slightly less convenient. In the end, I never had a working key.
Lastly, they waited until the day before I left to inform me that I needed to do inventory with someone from the company as part of my check-out. Because I had an early morning flight, they offered to send someone at 7:30am. I woke up early to greet her and she never showed up.
I highly recommend this apartment, with the caveat that if you require any assistance - the host’s response times are highly variable - if they elect to respond at all. The good news is: the neighbors are lovely!
