There were four of us, two adults and two children. The apartment has a lot of vintage charm, and the location was great for a family, with access to the metro a block away and many areas walkable, including Notre Dame and the Bastille Market. Lots of restaurants, cafes and grocery stores nearby, all walkable. We felt safe in the apartment and in the neighborhood, and there was an access code to get into the apartment complex.
It was very hot during our stay, about 95 degrees fahrenheit all days. The apartment does not have air conditioning, but Delphine provided us with fans at my request.
There is a washer/dryer in the unit (we did not use it), but no dishwasher.
The room with twin beds was perfect for the kids. There was a full sized bed in the second bedroom along with a pull out couch.
The two biggest drawbacks were:
1) The bathroom was not clean and needs some attention. The shower had a lot of mold/mildew in it, the toilet was dirty and the floor tile was also not clean. The sink needed a new faucet, as the water sprayed all over the person using it.
2) Guests are expected to wash dishes themselves as there is no dishwasher, however, no dish soap was provided. We ended up washing everything we used prior to using it because nothing seemed really clean, with bits of old food on several items.
The apartment has so much promise, and If these items are addressed, this would be an outstanding experience.
The hosts were great--Delphine was attentive to our needs and Christophe met us at the apartment and showed us around. He was easily accessible via WhatsApp for any needs during our stay.
