Ornella's place was a perfect base camp for a long Paris weekend. It was a girls trip and the place gave plenty of room. We loved the size of the apartment and the location was divine. Two problems occurred during our stay and that was trouble getting into the apartment for check-in. We were told to ring in but could not do so, which left us standing outside around 11 pm waiting for further instructions which Ornella was super helpful to assist with. The other problem was that there were construction/renovations occurring in the apartment. We walked into the kitchen which had part of the ceiling look as if it was being supported by a wood structure, and in one of the bedrooms, there was a plastic tarp taped to the ceiling in some areas. We were not warned or told about these renovations and when brought up to the host she said she had to do those renovations. We would have been more open and understanding had we been made aware ahead of time.
