Apartment is modern and big, comfortable for 2 adults and 2 children. It seems recently refurbished. Photos depict it well. Entire building belongs to the same owners. Subway station around the corner with 3 lines connects to almost everywhere. Nearby supermarkets and food shops make it easy to get supplies. Close to Les Halles, rue Montorgueil and Marais, but requires longer walks to most touristic attractions (not an issue in such walkable city). Apartment is well equipped, with average quality stuff (Ikea type). Washing machine reduced the need to pack many clothes for our long stay (13 nights). Air conditioning in the living area (portable model with duct attached to a hole in the wall) is a bit noisy and not super powerful, but brought some relief in hot nights; bedroom was warmer, so we left a fan at the door collecting cooler air from living area. Sofa-bed was good enough for our 2 kids (it may be not so comfortable for adults). Wi-fi worked well. All good differentials when looking to stay in Paris. But overall maintenance and cleaning were below average. Upon arrival, we reported light bulbs burned out, floor lamp broken and wardrobe door with broken hinges. Only bulbs were fixed a day later. Hand towels were not available until the 2nd night. There were some food spills in the fridge. Kitchenware was basic, with some missing pieces or incomplete sets. Oven tray and a couple of pans were very dirty and could not be used. We used the oven twice to heat, but it smelled grease. Mattress in bedroom has some recess from use. Building entrance and staircase smell mold/humidity. Elevator was out of order when we most need it at checkout with heavy lugagge. All would be tolerable issues, but then we faced a couple of situations. While the neighborhood is lively with restaurants and shops, one may find very bothersome adult shops and constant presence of male and female prostitutes of all kinds literally 24 hours at your doorstep. Having children with us, we found it not family friendly. Related to that, we witnessed an unpleasant and unsafe situation involving a couple (not rental guests) who somehow managed to enter the building and were caught by surprise in the staircase upon our ‘unexpected’ return on a Sunday morning. We immediately reported the fact to the owners, who promised to change entrance codes and badges, but this was not done while we stayed there. A few days later, there was a condom in the staircase. Very annoying. We were more upset since no warning about such neighborhood activity was given to us when we exchanged several messages with the owners when booking for a family trip. And we were expecting a bit more than the short written 'sorry' they gave us ...
