Our family of 4 (me, husband and two children aged 8 and 6) had a great time in Paris. I am writing a review so that people know a little more about the apartment where we stayed.
The location of the apartment is located in a very good area of Paris, all the important sights are within walking distance. This is where the pluses end.
The apartment is located on the ground floor of a residential building. The apartment has a separate entrance, which is very good, unfortunately, a meter from the entrance is the door where the garbage of the whole house is stored. You live next to a trash can.
Photos of the apartment give the impression of a bright apartment, unfortunately, it is not. The owner brightened the photos, misleading the tenants. Not a single ray of sunlight enters the apartment.
The biggest disappointment was the dirt in the apartment. The cleaning was terrible. Here is one egregious example. My kids playing Lego one day and one of the parts fell under the sofa in the living room. We moved the sofa away in search of a detail and were disappointed to see dust, dirt, and dried food residues under the sofa. Cleaning under the sofa has not been done for months!!!
The air in the apartment leaves much to be desired. This is due to one very important circumstance. In the apartment, the second bedroom is located in the basement, which has no windows. This room has been poorly renovated because you will see fungus on the ceiling above the bed and near the baseboard. Ventilation tries to solve the problem, but only hides it. The owner uses fragrances to cover up the problem. The air in the basement bedroom is terrible.
In general, I do not recommend the apartment for living if you are more than two people. It is very crowded and gloomy, dirty and with bad damp air from the basement.
On top of that, the owner threatened to write a bad review about us if we wrote that the apartment was dirty. This is confirmed in a message sent through AIRNBNB.
