Unfortunately our stay in Betty's Montmartre apartment was cut short. Paris was experiencing a heatwave during our 3 nights there, and the temperature in the apartment was unbearably hot at night. We were forced to leave after the first night and find alternative accommodation with air-conditioning.

Betty offered to buy a fan for the remaining two nights, however this would not have made much of a difference - the room is in a renovated attic on the sixth floor, and due to it's small size and few windows was incredibly stuffy after a day of 37 degree heat.

While the weather was not the host's fault, I would warn anyone planning a stay here during summer. I'm sure that during the cooler months our stay would have been much more pleasant.

We had a number of other issues with the apartment. The shower was blocked and did not drain properly. Furthermore, the sofa bed did not include a proper mattress, but instead was two cushions that were placed on the floor.

Other than this, I found communication with the host easy and organising check-in was very smooth, and I am sorry that our stay at Betty's apartment did not work out.
