This was a great apartment, and one that we enjoyed staying at overall. It was spacious, with a very well-equipped kitchen, and wonderful for a family of four with young children. The neighborhood is fantastic, with lots of shops, restaurants, parks, and great bakeries around.
Overall, Nicolas was a good host-he accommodated an early check-in for us and was generally responsive to our messages. However upon check-in, we noted that that the toilet seat in the bathroom was broken, and that was a concern for us with our kids. He assured us that it would be fixed, but it took several follow up messages and a week for the issue to finally be resolved. This was an inconvenience to be sure, and dampened our otherwise strong enthusiasm for the apartment. Similarly, our stay coincided with a significant heat wave, and there was no fan provided or available in the apartment so we purchased our own from the shop down the street. Judging by past positive reviews, perhaps these were fluke issues. We hope that in the future when we return to Paris, that the apartment can be fully ready for its guests upon check in. In that case, we would be happy to stay here again!
