Pros:
Ivan’s place was comfortable and close to Metro stations and the Arc de triomphe. A nice bakery downstairs with good breakfast and coffee. Plenty of food options at walking distance. A separate room for the kids with separate beds made it comfy for all.
Cons:
We faced quite a few issues including a major water leak (which was taken care of right away), not having hot water in the evenings (you have to flip a special switch for it...if you want it) and not having a fan in the apartment during the worst heat wave. You also have to climb 3 floors up to get to the apartment but I don’t think that is unique to this apartment...most old buildings in Paris have this issue...so just be prepared for it.
Ivan was responsive for anything we asked but I feel a little bit of proactiveness would have gone a long way. I’ve given him a few suggestions for things that could be improved. Overall this is a decent place if you can put up with the quirks.
