Pros:
Extremely convenient location. 3 grocery stores within 2-3 minutes walking distance. Several restaurants! CrossFit right on the corner. Uber is easily available. Home has cooking utensils available. The apartment was clean for the most part.
Cons:
Communication was delayed outside of 9-5 working hours.
It was HOT & STUFFY! Fans didn’t help much. With temps reaching 100, we were extremely uncomfortable. Sweaty and irritated.
Mid grade quality of towels. But for 10 days, we were not provided with enough. We had to wash ourselves and each load took 4 hours, and only about 3 larges towels and and 3 wash clothes (which we brought our own as they were not provided) could be washed at one time. Plus with the extreme heat in the apartment, it was overwhelming.
Washing machine very difficult to use.
Ants invaded our space (they came a sprayed which resolved the problem).
The shower was clogged and holding water (they came and resolved the problem).
The home is very small. There was supposed to be 6 of us and we’re so happy that 2 canceled, as we had to use one of the bedrooms for storing our suitcases.
We had to request more toilet tissue and though they brought us more, they said only 4 per stay are provided, regardless of the duration of the stay.
The stove glass was chipped pretty bad.
The cabinet door fell off of the washing machine (not our fault).
The basement floor was lifted pretty bad (which is scheduled to be repaired, however, was not repaired for our stay).
We were there for 11 days, and 10 nights. For the price (8k), I absolutely would never do it again.
For the location and amenities outside of the home, potentially.
I voiced my concern to the host, so we will see how he takes this review. I wasn’t happy, but it was definitely an experience for the books. Good, bad or indifferent, PARIS was a great experience.
