Needs TLC and the basics
As far as Paris rental properties go, this one could be good unit. The apartment is well situated and close to the Metro, shopping, restaurants, etc. It is also well designed and was likely a stellar property – in its day. Weekdays are very noisy as the windows open onto a school playground.
When we arrived, the apartment was very dirty, floors, kitchen were cover in dust. Even the garbage can hadn’t been emptied.
Another major issue is that is advertised as an A/C apartment and is not! Just has a portable unit in the living area (misleading). These were the basics that set the stage for our stay. The apartment is tired and it is apparent that regular maintenance and quality cleaning aren’t a priority. Kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors are misaligned and don’t necessarily open and close properly. The insides of the cabinets need to be refreshed as the paint is stained, leaving one with the impression that it hasn’t been cleaned.

The primary bathroom appeared to be in mid-repair. The taps in the shower were missing parts, the enclosure around the hot water tank appears to have been taken out and not replaced, there were cracks in the shower tiles, and missing lightbulbs in the vanity. These are items that should be part of a regular maintenance program.

In terms of customer comfort, the pillows on the beds are inadequate, there are no garbage cans in the washrooms, and the sofas in the living area need a deep clean! We chose not to sit on them the entire stay. The entire apartment could use a paint job.
This is a great opportunity for the property owners to give this property Paris apartment some major TLC and take care of the issues. I won’t recommend this property unless a deep updated is done on it.
