Marie was a great host. She always responded right away to my messages and checking-in was a breeze. The photos are a true representation of the apartment. The place is small but cozy, perfect for a city break in Paris. Despite the cold and rainy weather, the apartment was pleasantly heated. The utilities met all our needs: hair-dryer and all the kitchen utilities that we needed to cook quick meals. The location is great: close to two metro stations but also at a walkable distance to the Champs-Élysées. The greatest downside was the uncleanliness of the apartment. It was generally a bit dusty and grubby, especially the kitchen. The fridge was quite dirty and the cutlery and dishes were covered in grease, which meant we had to wash everything before using. The drawers and cupboards were full of leftover food and cosmetic packages that looked very crusty, which honestly isn't very pleasant - no one likes to be reminded of all the other people that slept in the same apartment before you. Uncleanliness aside (which wasn't too bad to be unbearable), it was generally a very lovely stay.
