Arlette, the hostess, was quick and efficient at responding to our initial inquiries and her instructions for entry, guide to the location and tourist spots were excellent.

However, the apartment was a disappointment indeed. Far too tiny for even 2 people; it is in the roof of a 3 storey apartment block, so you spend most of the time crouching in the bedroom. There is a dreadful little shower with toilet facing hard up against it, (you had to sit diagonally with feet then touching the door) and the door opened to a minute kitchen, which contained the barest of essentials such as 1 wine glass, a few cups and chipped glasses, and other sundry old cutlery and crockery.

Uncomfortable, shabby and not clean. An alarming loose wire dangled from the light fitting in the shower area (couldnt call it a bathroom) .

The thin, hard sofa bed was dirty and stained. The pillows were hard and the bedding was just sheets wich we found shoved into a tallboy dresser.

A dismal place and it detracted greatly from our stay in Paris.
