Take this flat for what it is: a tiny, cheap studio flat at a great location. It's in the heart of Paris, in walking distance of many attractions. We were met by Jeanne, a friend of Pierre, she was waiting for us by the time we arrived. She showed us the flat and gave us the key, saying that if we needed anything, we could contact her or Pierre. Right after she left, we realised that there were no set of clean towels, only a recently, still wet, used towel. We sent a text to Jeanne addressing the matter, it was seen but never replied. We contact Pierre about the issue and he said he could only deliver clean towels the next day by noon. They were delivered somewhere between 2pm and 7pm. No clean towels for 2 days, basically. The issues with the flat are many: the pictures show different furniture, the walls are stripped from the pictures, there are only blue tacs used to hold pictures in place. The flat wasn't clean. At all. We had to brush off the toilet ourselves from the last person/guest who used it. The bed is on the top of a carpet so dusty we couldn't sleep because our noses would get runny and stuffy. This flat is not clean and we were charged a cleaning fee! Kitchen utensils greasy with food leftovers. The shower has a faulty light that when doesn't turn off by itself, keeps flickering. The water in the entire place stays warm for a few minutes and then goes lukewarm. The building is being refurbished, so construction noise will start in the morning throughout the day on weekdays. The windows and the door face directly the lobby, so anyone getting into the apartments will wake you up if they are talking. We didn't expect luxury, we knew we were going to a small place just to sleep and refresh for the next day exploring Paris, but instead, we ended up dreading the moment we had to go back to sleep, so unpleasant was the experience. I've been to many places from luxury to modest accommodations, specially around South America and Brazil, so this is not a matter of being out of touch or too 'picky'. This flat unfortunately is a far cry from what it was in the previous reviews. I hope Pierre addresses these issues for the sake of the next guests.
