We have rented many airbnbs but this was the first one where, as far as we recall, we did not deal directly with the owner. Contact is via a management team. In that respect, we were disappointed when we found the housekeeping was not as stated on the website. In the kitchen there were no tea-towels, one wine glass only, and no supply of garbage bags. There was no supply of toilet paper except for the one nearly finished in the toilet. There were light bulbs in the kitchen, living room and bedroom that needed replacing. Perhaps it can put down to staff shortages in the age of COVID.
Despite following the instructions in the apartment , we were unable to get the TV to work because of a problem in getting a signal from the antenna. The management team were unable to resolve the problem and this was very disappointing for us as we are avid fans of the Tour de France and we’re unable to watch it.
However, we would otherwise recommend the apartment for its proximity to Rue des Martyrs where cafes, bars, boulangeries and many interesting shops abound.
The parquet flooring could do with some repairs but, again, the location will be the most important consideration to many people. Staying there during a recent heatwave which culminated in 2 days of 36 and 41 degrees C, the apartment remained at quite a comfortable temperature by simply closing the windows during the hottest part of the day. There was plenty of natural light but minimal direct sun through the windows to heat up the building. All we needed was the portable electric fan which was provided.
