Yaan was quick to respond to our emails and was there to greet us when we arrived. The location was great. Metro was on the corner of his apartment and quick to all the hot spots of Paris. There are good restaurants and a wonderful pastry spot all within a few blocks. The apartment has a lovely balcony with a great view of a church. Safe location and building. My husband and I were disappointed about the overall apartment. When we arrived, Yaan walked us into the apartment and we were turned off by a smell that was coming from the bathroom and kitchen. The dishwasher had dirty dishes in it. The worst was when we opened the washer and dryer to find dirty clothes. Yaan explained that he had just drove 3 hours from Belgium and didn't have time to do the laundry. However, that is no excuse. I had to remove the dirty sheets and towels out myself whenever I needed to use the washer/drier. I basically spent the first day scrubbing the bathroom and I was so glad I had brought my own sheets. My husband and I were extremely disappointed. This apartment is probably appropriate for a single man. Definitely not for a couple looking for a Romantic stay.
