The apartment is located within a walking distance from the cathedral of Notre Dame and other Paris attractions. Valeria, the host, is flexible about the check-out time. The guests who occupied the apartment before us were allowed to stay until 8 pm, and we were also allowed to check out at a later time (5pm). However, the apartment itself is not suitable for commercial rental. I paid the commercial rate for two bedrooms and 4 people but the apartment has sufficient bedding only for two adults and one child. I ended up sleeping on a very uncomfortable, folded bad. I also had to make up this bad myself. Despite paying the top rate, Valeria’s and her daughter belongings were left in the apartment. We choose to stay in apartments on our travels because it allows us to have access to the fridge. My nephew needs to take medication that should be kept in the freezer. Unfortunately the freezer was full of the owner’s (Valeria’s) food and we were instructed not to touch any of them. We ended up leaving the medication in the fridge, though it was also difficult to find some space amongst the food left by Valeria. There was also old bread left in the bread container, some already green. The main bedroom was very small and there was no space to put a suitcase. Lack of space was not helped by Valeria leaving all her clothes and shoes in the cupboard. Valeria's pyjamas and nightgown were hanging on the window. My sister was forced to keep her suitcase with her clothes in the kitchen next to the dirty bird cage. The bathroom was ensuite, and had no door. Again, the bathroom was full of Valeria’s cosmetics, cleaning products and dirty laundry. The small bedroom, which I was sharing with my nephew, belongs to Valeria’s daughter and was full of her toys. clothes and used shoes. After putting the reclaimable bad, there was no space for us to move around at all. The apartment has been cleaned only superficially. The carpet needed vacuuming and the floors needed washing. The high chair that my 10 year old nephew supposed to sit on was full of dust. There were only two chairs to sit on at the table. The couch was quite used up and dirty, and the tiles in the shower had a yellow residue. There was only one set of keys and the entry door could not be closed from inside. We had to go back to the apartment at exactly 8 o’clock to pick up the key and leave also at the exact time so Clemence can pick up the key from us. The key had a hair clip instead of the key ring. Valeria also left us a long list of what not to do in the apartment. In summary, I have to state that Valeria has no concept of what it means to rent her place on a commercial basis and treats her guests disrespectfully.
