Unfortunately this was the worst part of my trip to Paris. There were several issues. The first being that the flat was not very clean. Lots of dust bunnies in all the corners and under the beds and couches. I had to request clean linens and towels upon arrival because the linen was wadded up in the closet. There was also a sewage smell coming from the bathroom which had to be treated with some chemicals. The washer did not work properly. It did not advance through all of the settings and it never dried. We had to use the laundry down the street. It was very hot in the flat without air-conditioning and there are only two small windows in the bathroom which do not allow for adequate ventilation. It was too hot even with the fans. To top it all off, the neighborhood is dirty and not very nice.
The owners were great with communication and they did offer a discounted rate due to all the things that went wrong, but it was uncomfortable to have to bring up problems. The apartment was quiet but I would not stay there again.
