Communication was good and check-in was easy. There was a nice shower with hot water and lots of storage for clothing. We loved the covenience of the dishwasher. This place looks much as it is pictured in the photographs, but it is a little tired. The paint is peeling in a few places and the towels need to be replaced. We were especially disappointed to find the washing machine broken. The host claimed he was replacing it next week, but previous reviews also mentioned that the machine didn’t work. The place is not in the best location. While it is central and close to a metro, the surrounding area is quite touristy (bad restaurants, tacky shops, and crowds). The city is so big that you’ll need to metro to most places, so you’re better off staying in a quieter area like Le Marais.
