Stayed late September 2015-Apartment is mostly as shown and described (except no clothes dryer). Door handle to bathroom still comes off in your hand (problem identified in earlier review from August).

Location is excellent for seeing sights and access to Metro and grocery store down the block is very convenient. You will have a "real" Parisian experience (couple who lives in apartments arguing late at night; resident dog barking at 10:30-11PM at night-which we didn't mind so much as we are night owls).

More/Better information from sitter would have been nice, especially about the light switches in the stairwell (very important after dark-almost too a few tumbles before we found them).

Biggest problem was cleanliness-overall apartment was not clean from food left in the refrigerator to food residue on every dish and cup in the cabinet to the floors needing a good sweep and mop.

Worst part was the bathroom-very unclean in general but worst part was black mold all all over the grout in the shower, on the hand held shower head (and into the caulking in the two wall joints closest to the shower heads). Not having any trust in whoever they have that cleans the apartment and wanting it dealt with right away my husband decided to clean it but found only moldy rags in the cleaning bucket under the sink so we had to buy cleaning supplies (and bleach of course). After a thorough 1+ hour cleaning the bathroom was almost as lovely as in the pictures.

We communicated the mold problem to our sitter upon departure and then to Veronique and in the process of resolution. The AirBnB refund page is good but needs to be better, specifically regarding uploads of pictures and documents (asks if you have them but when you check "yes" does not prompt you to upload them-place to do so is on the opposing side outside of process sight zone).

Communication on whether request was accepted or rejected needs to be better on AirBnB Dashboard. Thought it was rejected a second time after uploading pictures because the hierarchy seemed to indicate that but that actually does not seem to be the case. I referred the issue to AirBnB at that point because of that miscommunication.

Issue could have probably been dealt with between Veronique and myself if the process and communication were clearer but there is no way to go back now. Hoping for a successful resolution.
