We truly loved the location. The apartment was well appointed and nicely decorated. Our greeter (Amy) was great! She did a good job explaining the apartment. We did have some issues during our stay. The closest Metro was closed for construction which we were not aware of until we got there. That presented only a small inconvenience. The stairs were very difficult to navigate with a suitcase. The narrow, uneven spiral staircase would be very difficult for someone who is not highly mobile. There was often an odor from the India restuarant that is located downstairs. The most annoying thing about our apartment was the door. The door was very fussy to unlock and lock. Even our greeter had a problem with it when we arrived. We were also told not to leave the key in the door on the other side as this might be come an issue if you forgot it and locked the door. I can see why people would want to leave the key in the door on the inside. The lock is not a stanard lock and must be locked from the inside. This seemed like an extreme fire hazard, as it did not have a standard deadbolt knob locking system. If there was a fire you would need to find the key to unlock the door first! There were no smoke detectors, which made me nervous with a restuarant downstairs. Our second issue was with the shower that constantly backed up, to the point I was afraid it would overflow. And lastly, the couch was a bit uncomfortable to sit on, because its cushions were sloping downward making it difficult to be comfortable. We did enjoy our stay in Paris, but I do think it is important to have an accurate picture of what the apartment was like.
