Beware! First of all, I have waited a few weeks to calm down to write this review, but I need to warn everyone. This listing is misleading.
1- Check-in time says 3 pm, but they use a key service and since I got in on sunday it didn't open until 4pm. Not an issue, but that means the cleaning crew couldn't get the key until 4 so we couldn't get the apartment until 715.
2- Did I mention you collect your keys at another building miles away. You will need to uber or taxi to gather them and collect them. Make sure you account for the time and cost to collect the keys.
3- I was told I had a 45 minute window to collect the keys. We had to move our dinner reservations to gather the keys. They then told us not to worry about the 45 minute window they would leave them in the lockbox near by. I went to the lockbox per the instructions. (I have pictures of the instructions and emails from Melody), but they were not left inside. I called the service to say the keys hadn't been left and was told I am sorry it is after hours there is no way to get the keys. I was essentially locked out of the building for the night! Luckily, I met the owners of the building and they were kind enough to let us inside the apartment and give us a spare key. The owners stated this is a constant problem with this person and we aren't the first people to be left stranded by the host. Thank goodness for the owners.
4- Dirty Dirty Dirty- We waited to get in because the cleaning crew had to clean. We arrived and found no toilet paper left, a toilet not cleaned and all the personal shower supplies including a personal razor blade for shaving left in the shower. I can understand leaving shampoo, but all the personal items left in the shower was gross. I also took a picture of these items. This apartment hasn't been dusted or deep cleaned in who knows how long. It was dusty and clearly needs more than just sheets changed. I don't trust that the dishes were cleaned.
5-Little things, it needs a bottle open, what place doesn't have a bottle opener for beer or wine. I had to go buy one.
6- The view is as described. It is a beautiful view if you are standing up in the window. There isn't really a seat that can sit several people to see the view. You do have to stand up in the window to see out, but it is amazing.
I think they should disclose on the listing that the part of the check-in is you don't get a key near by and it isn't walkable. The listing is misleading with their partner they have chosen to handle check-in and check outs. If it wasn't for the building owners to give us a key the customer support to get a key would have failed. We wouldn't have had a key to get in. I am sure Melody will say they would have found a way to get us a key, but the fact their third party company told us the key drop was closed for the night didn't show a desire to get us a key.
I wouldn't recommend to stay here especially at the rates they are charging per day and the issues you will experience. Great photography, terrible customer service and experience. Save your money and stay somewhere else cheaper away from the Eiffel Tower, this place isn't worth it.
