I booked this stay 5 months advance with my wife and our 6 month old baby. Half way into our 9 day stay, our host contacted us to say "workers" would arrive at 8am the next day. The host said she didn't know how long the workers needed to be at the apartment, so we changed our travel plans to be out of the house all day (not easy with a baby). In the middle of Wednesday our host tries to call me, and sent a text asking when we were going back to the apartment because the landlords needed access to the apartment. This was very confusing because they never said we needed to stick around, and why isn't there another key for the hosts to let the landlords in? We asked and never got a response. We got back to the apartment around 3pm and then someone knocked at the door at 3:30. It was the plumber who was supposed to be there in the morning. He said he had to come back Thursday morning, and we asked why he can't finish work now. We did not get an answer, so we agreed to stay to let him work the next morning. I stayed there with the baby because they placed this demand on us, and after about 20 minutes the plumber started welding a pipe that produced smoke and fumes. I ran to open a window and gathered our things and left immediately because the baby could have been poisoned by smoke and fumes. We were disturbed by our hosts inability to coordinate the maintenance of the property without our needing to waste time on our vacation (now 2 days) and I am upset about the danger my child was placed in. We found a notice about the plumbing work in the building lobby but it was dated a couple weeks before our arrival. The host clearly does not live in or around the rental, and neglected to heed and make arrangements before our stay.
Additionally, the place was very bare. There were three small pillows, and two small blankets, no additional bedding supplies or sheets or anything. In the bathroom only two small very old towels. The bed was extremely bad and uncomfortable so we slept in the living room. We got little sleep due to a massive construction project next door, a school across the street, and with trash vehicles picking up constantly. Stay here if you care more about being close to the Seine than getting any sleep or being comfortable and uninterrupted.
