Dear future users,
Prepare yourselves for some initial shocks. First of all, the apartment is located in a quite sketchy neighbourhood where you don't really feel safe walking around at night. The building is fairly old, without an elevator, and the apartment is located on the 4th floor, so be ready to climb some stairs. On the bright side, the inside of the apartment doesn't match the outside whatsoever, and it's quite nicely equipped and decorated. Good things include: a dishwasher, a coffee maker, laundry machine and a nice shower, but a really bad thing id that there is no AC. Paris gets really hot during summer and it's quite difficult to sleep in the attic of the apartment, so an 'air-cooling device' where you have to put ice packs in yourself just doesn't cut it. Another thing, a laundry machine but no detergent, stained pillows and only 4 towels for 4 people is not a really good thing either. I think it would be nice thing if guests would at least get 2 towels each, simply because of hygenic reasons. Communication is another downside - no one speaks English, only French. I feel like it would be nice if somebody spoke some basic English at least. To be fair, the owner was always responding quickly, but as I said, always in French. Also, in my opinion, the apartment is way to small to fit 4 people (2, 3 maximum). To end on a high note, the apartment is close to a nice grocery store and to the metro, so it's easy to get to the centre.
