This is a sweet flat at heart, but it is run down and tired and needs money spent on it to justify the price being charged. The living room is a very nice space and bedrooms, while small, are perfectly fine. The location right next to Pigalle station is handy, if a little noisy. However, the kitchen is terrible - it is absolutely tiny, has no counter space, is very poorly equipped (no chopping boards, no mugs, bad knives, limited crockery) and the only place for the kettle was positively dangerous (perched on a high shelf). It is not really possible, or at least very stressful, to cook for a family, so self-catering is difficult. The cooker was dirty and stained. The towels were very old and, whilst clean, had odour to them and the bathroom had an inadequate shower with no shower curtain or screen. The bed in the main bedroom was extremely hard and uncomfortable and one of the (3 in total) pillows provided was unusable because it was disintegrating and lumpy. The attractive parquet flooring is falling apart and squeaks practically wherever you tread on it. The flat, while appearing superficially clean had a lot of accumulated dirt and dust in corners on beds, shelves etc. It is clear that a lot of people are passing through it. This has the potential to be a really great place to stay, but it is not being maintained to an adequate standard and, for the price, is not good value.
