The hosts did a great job decorating the living room. The apartment is also in a prime location within walking distance to the metro and a ton of restaurants/shopping. We were visiting Paris for my birthday so that was very important to us!
However, the bathroom was highly disappointing. It was smaller than it looks in the photographs with very little counter space. The fancy sink they installed was not practical. The faucet was too long, so there was no room to get under the water and wash face/brush teeth. We also didn’t realize there was no backup toilet paper. We ran out of toilet paper on our last night and ended up having to use paper towels.
And then… the shower. The shower head sprayed in every direction every time we turned it on. It soaked the entire bathroom including the floor. The knobs were very hard to figure out, and the water was boiling hot. We burned ourselves a couple times just trying to figure out how to take a shower after longs days of being tourists.
I still gave 4 stars because of the living room and location.
