Benjamin was very friendly and communication very good. Regarding the Check-In Time he was flexible so that we could move in early.
The apartment was clean although except the bed sheets didn't seem to be freshly washed. The toilet seat was broken.
The biggest down turn was the area in which the apartment was located. Around La Chapelle it is quite dirty everywhere but what really makes things bad is that there are many folks around who misbehave. Not only once when we walked to the metro station strangers approached my girl friend with comments like "Hello Darling! How are you tonight?" and other totally inappropriate ways. We didn't feel safe there at all. I wouldn't want to imagine a girl travelling alone checking in at Benjamin. An information about these circumstances in the description is therefore absolutely essential.
The building in which the apartment was in was totally run down and dirty as well. The entrance door to the staircase was just totally broken and therefore always open. The apartment has quite few daylight because the windows are small and the "view" was going to the inner courtyard. The fotos showed none of these negative aspects.
So unfortunately we wouldn't recommend the place.
