After reading all the great reviews, I booked the flat for 19 days but had to move out after 2 days...
the reasons for leaving:
- there is a persistent smell in the living room - a mix between smoke&cooking I guess, even though in the ad it says "non-smoking" flat
- the kitchen was dirty, the fridge was left dirty and the other bits were sticky
When mentioning this to the host he just said "oh maybe we forgot to clean the fridge when we left" but I should "appreciate how amazing is the flat".
Also it is important to note, which I was not clear from the listing is that this flat is used by owners when they are not renting so there is one room locked, as well as numerous drawers, closets locked across the apartment, even one shelf in the fridge is locked. Even in the rented bedroom in the closet there is an old suitcase taking half of a space.
on the positives:
- the area is amazing
- the building block as others mentioned is secure and very nice, locals live there
- safe area as well
- metro is 5 min walk
- there is a lovely balcony with a view of eiffel as shown on pictures
- the size of the flat is huge
