Upon arriving into the entranceway of the apartment we were met with a large patch of rising damp and mould at the start of the stairs up to the apartment on the first floor. We appreciate that this is an old building however this is not something that you expect to see when you are paying NZD $2,700 for a weeks accommodation. There was also cleanliness issues in the bathroom. There was mould in the shower cubicle around the grout at the base, and generally the apartment was not completely clean. There wasn't even any toilet paper in the bathroom when we arrived. Fortunately we arrived during the day and were able to go the local supermarket to buy toilet paper, however if we had arrived in the evening when the supermarket was closed it would have been a different issue. The apartment was also smaller than we were expecting. We did have issues with the air conditioning going on and off in the night which emitted a loud beep each time it turned off. Valery did come over to the apartment while we were out to see if he could fix the issue but the problem persisted throughout our stay. The location however was excellent, we were in the heart of St Germain. Overall we did enjoy our stay, however we feel that the cleanliness issues need to be addressed along with the rising damp issue.
