Positives:
- Great location
- Well designed apartment given the size limitations of the apartment
- Great communication from the host
- Kids liked the decor and the novelty of the basement, windows between bedrooms (wears off a little as days progress)
Improvement Opportunities:
- No central air. Only one portable unit in one bedroom and fan in main room. The house was hot for the duration of the stay (June)
- Steep stairs to basement bathrooms and bump hazard for a tall person
- Kitchen taps do not stop dripping without closing it really tight, which made it hard from my 8 year old to use
- Hot water is scalding hot and needs adult supervision for a young one to use. If another person uses another shower or tap, the temp of water changes quite a bit on the one being used
- Some of the fixtures even though look great and increase the aesthetic appeal, appear to be of lower quality (taps, doors)
Overall given the limitations of what is available in Paris in desirable locations, we would still go back to this apartment.
