Overall we had a pleasant stay at Parc Royal Kashan and Paul was great. Our individual review categories range from 2 stars to 5 stars. The pros were AC, location, Management, kitchen appliances and safety. The cons were cleanliness, lack of places to open suitcases and hang clothes, dirty and broken dishes and lack of lighting. The AC was great except the upper attic bedroom needed a fan to circulate the AC better. Paul was great and immediately brought us a fan and it was much better. We appreciated that it was very safe. Only 2 apartments on our level and 2 separate security doors on the main floor with codes. Cleanliness was an issue, as the only shower had mold and large pieces of paint dangling down several inches from the ceiling. Also, the dishes were dirty: 2 cups had dried tea in them and several had broken handles. The only real closet was at the front door and wasn’t tall enough for midi length dresses. No hanging rack in attic bedroom and only one hook. No place to put suitcases in bedrooms, unless on floor in walkways. Although the apartment had many lamps and chandeliers, it was very dark and needed a considerable upgrade in lighting, especially in bathrooms. In the main bathroom, we were told not to use the light switch next to the toilet because it could electrocute us. We also had to buy a table mirror to put on make up next to a window in the main room, as the bathrooms were too dark and the small wall makeup mirror was unhinged from the wall with just a screw sticking out where is should’ve been hanging. We noticed several lightbulbs needed replacement too. Wallpaper was curling at seams in all rooms. The kitchen was great except for the freezer which was iced over and the door wouldn’t shut all the way, but the clothes washer and drier, dishwasher, coffee makers and other kitchen items were great. They also provided spices and coffee, etc. Overall we enjoyed our stay but felt the Kashan apartment needed a general update with a full clean/paint of the shower, hanging racks, permanent fans, general fixing of walls and nicks in paint on furniture, buy some new coffee cups, better cleaning etc and the place would greatly benefit. Finally, we did not think the stairs up to the apartment were an issue. Paul helped us bring our luggage up upon arrival and our daily use of the wide, well-lit staircase was fine. Generally, we expected a bit more for the price we paid. We’ve stayed in Paris in the past allowing us a good comparison for this 2 bedroom/2 bath rental.
