Our stay was good overall: the location is incredibly central and easy walking/metro distance from pretty much anywhere you care to be in Paris. The design is cute and a little more spacious than some other apartments we’ve rented. The tub, of course, is lovely and a great way to unwind.
However, it was a little disconcerting to not be greeted by either the host or the housekeeper, as the host had mentioned, but a woman who stayed on the phone with the housekeeper the entire time trying to navigate the keypads and locks to even get us inside the building. She didn’t speak English or French so the communication aspect was difficult.
Once she finally got us inside the apartment, she handed us the keys and said ‘sorry, I don’t work here,’ then left. Thankfully there was a binder of instructions on all the appliances, TV, etc. But there was a load of laundry left in the wash, the floors were sticky, many of the plants were dead — just an overall sense of hasty turnover. We had to go back outside to make sure we even understood how the keys worked. Would give a 4/5 due to these small but not insignificant problems.
