This apartment was quite nice, and the hosts were responsive whenever I had a question or issue. It was just slightly on the tawdry side, though, not what I would expect for the price. The paint on the rail outside the windows was peeling; the shower door didn't close properly, letting water splash onto the bathroom floor. The refrigerator badly needs defrosting, and froze my vegetables almost right away. The bed in the smaller bedroom is not a double or queen, but two single beds shoved together. The view from the apartment isn't particularly nice; it looks over a courtyard that's taken up, mostly, by another building.
Some of the days were cold in May, but I couldn't figure out the heater, which is programmed and has a lot of buttons. The clothes dryer, too, I couldn't figure out. The woman who let me in and showed me around -- another situation that was a bit confusing -- led me up two flights of stairs, me lugging my big suitcase even amid my jet lag, because the elevator isn't available to guests of this apartment -- take note!!! -- then showed me the place and how everything worked while acknowledging that I probably wouldn't remember her instructions since I was so tired. When, a couple of days later, I asked her to come back and show me again, she never did. So I air-dried the towels and used the portable electric heater I found in the living room.
All these little details notwithstanding, I found GuestReady to be very responsive and polite. I probably should have asked them, not the woman who let me in, to show me how the heater and dryer worked, but by the time I realized that person #1 wasn't going to show, the weather had warmed up (it did get cold again, though!). The place was pretty nice and I liked the neighbors I met. Everything worked. And the apartment is on a quiet street in a good location, close to a friendly Irish bar and a number of nice places to eat, and only a 15-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, which I enjoyed very, very much.
