First let me say we would stay here immediately again! The apartment needs some love, the real issue is maintenance, bulbs need to be replaced, light switches are inoperable and stuck, dishwasher door doesn’t work properly, the blinds on the balcony are broken or unable to close and the carpets are badly affixed, the ice maker in the refrigerator is broken and the clothes drier is inoperable. The owner has taken 80% of all potential space for effects, her life clutters every shelf and ledge. We came for 8 days so we managed but be prepared to use chairs as wardrobes and also bring hangers because there are very few. The location is fabulous and there are great restaurants, bakeries and other shops all within walking distance. The Metro is at the end of the street! Space and reception rooms are great luxury there is a sunny light flooding the top floor adresse. The primary issue we had is Pierre, the host, who has very little interest in any personal contact, working through a series of surrogates, offices, each communication changing information much of it inaccurate. “A bed will be delivered on Monday -Sorry it will be Tuesday - Sorry no bed is coming this is an error!” We tried to contact Pierre for 9 days via the app, through his office, email and WhatsApp and after cancelling our meet on arrival he sent a newbie who had never visited the apartment before, who arrived thirty minutes late. Every time we called the host’s cell another person answers, A lady, a OLIVIER - No one is in charge. None of the issues we raised about the faults in the apartment were rectified. When we left yet another person showed up called Thomas who explained he’s a weekend shift worker who knows nothing. Excuses ranged from, Pierre will call back, he’s “en weekend”, out of paris etc.....this was not a cheap rental. Pierre may not even exist, he’s a company that runs many many apartments from this address - (we visited it) his company masquerades as myvacationservices.com at 7, Rue des Fontaines de Temple

It seems like a letterbox as we could not find any employees or office here. This being said I would come back here again to rent this apartment as it is a quirky attractive and great comfy home. The kitchen and Salon are sumptuous. I hope the owner reads this ! Steven and Carolin
