This apartment is very well located, obviously because Ile St Louis is centrally located within Paris. However, we had a terrible time with the check in process. We were informed that the owner's son will meet us outside. Instead, the friend of the owner was waiting for us inside while we did not have an entrance code or a key to check in. It was lucky that a local friend was with us so we could call and contact them.
Once inside, the owner's representative showed us around. He did not know all the details of running the apartment. He gave us two sets of keys and a few minutes later, we realized that he took one of the sets by mistake. Later that evening, I went out and my friend went to bed. I could not get in afterwards, because of the keys attached to the set was the wrong key. Finally, after about an hour, the owner's son showed up without a set of keys. He rang all the residences call buttons (after midnight) and eventually one of them, my friend woke up and let him in. He then opened the door and gave us that key. When I mentioned that the check in should be easier, he said "this is not a hotel." This experience was stressful as I had just arrived from a long flight. Thankfully, my local friend waited with me during this whole process. I am exhausted and It was very upsetting.
The living room looks beautiful but not at all comfortable to relax. They have a love seat with no comfortable cushions. The owners did nothing to make me feel better after all these issues. Her apology seemed superficial.
