I spend 5 nights and was originally convinced by all that positive Feedback, that the apartment would be what I was looking for. It wasn't. Though Gabriel was responding quickly and helpfully, gave great and exact information how to find his place, I didn't feel comfortable and the place was not, what I expected. It was not very clean, just quickly swept over. There were urinspots on&under the toilet seat (yuk!), the bathroom floor and all floors seemed not mopped for some time, the kitchen as well. There were only dirty sponges left which had been used to clean the dishes, the kitchen table and table sets on top were dirty...and worst of all, it smelled very strongly like smoke! That's why there were incense sticks lightened when I arrived. There was no hint or information that the apartment is a regular smokers apartment and the smell was all over. As a non-smoker it was unpleasent to get back every day to a place smelling like cold smoke. So no, I didn't feel very comfortable and welcome - even though Gabriel offered complimentary tea, coffee and juice, which was very nice! Also there are helpful written information and city maps - all very thoughtful and nice, but I think a perfectly clean place, not smelling and with a working heater in the living room would have been far more important. The place is very quiet, very well located, equipped with the necessary stuff, but a bit worn off. I couldn't help it but get the feeling, that people are staying there quite often, but Gabriel is not really taking care of it after or in between the stays. So with a thorough and basic cleaning and dusting it of, it is a good location, but still you should not be sensitive to smoke. Or a cleaning fee could be an idea and would justify a price modification. I have noticed that the price is much higher now, which seems to me not justified, but maybe is due to general overpriced accommodation in central Paris.
