In our first communication with Nancy, she informed us that check in between 8.30 and 10 pm would cost an additional 30 euro. Later she wrote it would be 40 euros between 8.00 and 10 pm, that she would need in cash upon arrival. I gues it is her right, but it did cause us pause to learn, that she was less than serviceminded and threatened an unspecific fee if we were delayed upon arrival. We later learned that the guy given us the key is employed by Nancy, and thus the apartment is not one that Nancy lives in. To us it seemed like an apartment only used by airbnb rentals. Some interieur was missing, it did not have a 'local feeling' and especially the shower needs some care and attention. Also there was not enough hot water. Even with super short showers, there was only enough hot water for 3 people. We stayed there 6 adults. (4 in the living room on sofa beds and 2 in the bed the hallway to the shower.) and that worked fine. There is an ekstra sofa, but more than 6 adults would be to croweded. What Nancy apartment lacks in cosyness and maintainance, it makes up for in location. It is perfectly located close to Louvre, Centre Pompidu, Marrais and has a great parisienne view! We loved the neighborhood, and the walking distance to so many great places.
We would recommend Nancy to give the apartment some attention and make it work better and nicer to stay in, and communicate less strictly. Because the apartment deffinetly has potential, and if all you care about is location, it doesnt get much better than this.
