Manon was a friendly host - she arrived on time for check in, she speaks great English, left a guide of helpful tips for us, and was very kind in letting us check out late in the evening and leave her luggage with her as our train back wasn't until the evening. Overall she was responsive. I have only given this apartment 3 stars, as unfortunately the hot water system was bad. We had to continually ignite the hot water tank (something the host had told us never happens), and even once we had ignited it the water would not come out fully hot. When in the shower, the water would fluctuate from freezing to very hot. The toilet sometimes also didn't flush properly and the sink leaked occasionally in the kitchen. Adding to this, the apartment is listed as having central heating. The heating appears to be there, but it wasn't working. Manon tried to help turn it on and said this had been completed, but it didn't work once over our stay. When we arrived the apartment was cold. There are two portable heaters in the flat, but this does not count as central heating and it was annoying having to move them around depending on which room we were in. If Paris had been colder when we stayed, the apartment would have been every difficult to stay in without proper hot water and heating. I am hoping Manon can fix these two issues, as if it hadn't been for this I would have given 5 stars. But unfortunately these are two basic essentials which make you enjoy your visit! Good points about the apartment include the fact that it is spacious (especially for Paris) with two good sized bedrooms. One bedroom has a double bed and one has a single bed. Both beds are comfortable. The whole apartment is well-furnished with a nice view of the Sacre Couer from the living room and one bedroom, and a view of the Eiffel Tower from the kitchen. The kitchen is well-equipped including a fridge that filters your water. In the living area, the sofa is comfortable and the TV is modern. There are lots of homely touches which adds personality to the apartment. The apartment is secure as you are on the 5th floor (there is no lift which Manon clearly explains above) and it was clean. The Wi-Fi was fast. In terms of location, we really enjoyed where we stayed. It is near the Moulin Rouge area so check before hand if you want to stay in this area of Paris. Pigalle tube station is only two minutes away from the apartment which is great! It is also quick to get to the Gare Du Nord via the metro for the Eurostar. On the other side of the apartment from the Moulin Rouge area, is the traditional Parisian area of Abbesses. It was great being near here as we could easily reach bakeries, pastry shops, cafes. Overall, it...
