I haven’t given such a low rating before and do it honestly. I’ll start with the positives first but have a few definitive warnings for future potential guests. The location of Samuel’s place is awesome, we thoroughly enjoyed Montmarte and the apartment is a great place to explore from. The apartment is spacious and has great views. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The cleanliness of the unit needs to be improved. It’s quite obvious someone lives here and it is rented out as there things are throughout the apartment. We were travelling with a 3 year old and I was quite disappointed by the lighter, incense and pipe left out on the counter. The fridge and freezer were not cleaned out with spills and things like half cut onions left behind. There were certain amenities in the add that were not included, the one we were the most upset about was the lack of air conditioning. I knew this was a rarity in Paris and looked hard for a listing that included AC. This was not the case in Samuel’s place. As well for essentials the place was out of toliet paper and hand soap when we arrived. Samuel was aware of the toliet paper and asked us to pick some up and he’s reimburse us or drop some off 2-3 hours after our arrival. As we were getting off an international flight from Canada we were really not impressed with how this lack of an essential item was handled. He knows be bought the toliet paper but has made no further offers of reimbursement… He wasn’t even aware of the hand soap being out. The last issue is that the door codes in the ad were incorrect, thank goodness we had a phone turned on and he answered or we would have been standing outside with our luggage and no way to get in. I’d say renter beware on this one. For the price you’re better off picking another unit where you can be guaranteed basic essentials like a clean unit, toliet paper and hand soap.
