The pictures are misleading, they were edited to cancel all the wires around the lights and the TVs. The upstairs toilet in on of the bedroom was broken when I arrived, I have pictures, but no one was accountable for it apparently since the "management" was unable to have this fixed. The washer downstairs leaks and let a paddle of water in the basement. It smells horrible in some parts of the apartment because of the humidity. The freezer is full of ice ( so you cannot use it!) it leaks over your produce in the fridge. The garbage drawer smells horrible. There are no garbage bags. There are little fridge in each room, as if it was planned to be used as a hotel location for several couples. One of the room has a double door. One of the bed, the one where my kids slpet, was full of dust and sand under the sheet. I noticed that because my children started to itch and had red bumps on their chest. I removed the sheet , washed it (hence the paddle), and shaked over the mattress. We were shocked by the dust and sand . I vacuumed all around but the vacuum does not work well as the cleaning person never seems to empty the filter and remove the dust and hair from the head of the vacuum. It is not a comfortable place to stay,. It surely is a place to party, given eh location, I get it (and note in the building a lot of air b and b are going on so the saturday night was very very very loud, there was a party going in, which is ironic because Trian or the management co had asked me about three times not to party there. I had no intent of partying since I was staying with my kids, but I wish someone had told me it was not a place fir for a family given i could not cook , even an egg, my kids were scared to sleep in the shady basement, the rooms upstairs had bno toilet, and one had a filthy bed. The fridge was leaking. Why would they put mini fridges in each room if it was not to put several couples there like a hotel?
Oh and the biggest joke is the owner's recommendation for places to eat. He lists "Rue des Martyrs" a 10 minutes walk from the apartment. The apartment is at 22 rue de Charonne. Rue des Martyrs is in a completely different neighbordhood and is 15 min drive may be but at least 60 min walk. It looked so fake to read this, eveyrhting about this place is not homy and fake. I was happy to leave, Oh and Air b and b proposed to me to check out earlier but I did not want to risk another weird apartment with all kind of issues again. Also it is COVID and the hotels are closed in France and everyone is home so there are automatically much less options.
