I will try to be objective, so I will write as it was:
It's an old historical building. Good location. 5 min walk from Place Republique. Elevator is available only from first floor. Difficult to get up with all luggages. The door opens after several difficult manipulations. As we were said "You have to get use to it". The apartment is not really clean. Woman who does it for Michael doing it very superficialy. Carpet and cover on the bed were dirty. Shower all calcified. We paid for 4 people in case my nusband and 2nd sister will come. And there were only 2 towels. There is no possibility to take a shower for two people in a row. Water stays hot only for 15 min. There is another apartment through the metalic door, all of their conversations, and even silent talk could be heared. Now, to the main disappointment.
As we were welcomed by lady housekeeper, we didn't have a possibility to really check out with Michael all the things at a place. When we enter the apartment it was a bit cold.( In two hours after our noses were cold). We've touched the radiators and there were off. We said it to the lady, she said "it's strange". I wrote message to Michael, and he said that the temperature is okay at the apartment. After several messages, he finally came, just to say, that this temperature at home is normal, and even too warm, and the radiators IN PARIS turned on by the level of outside temperature. This is why they are stone cold. What Michael didn't know, that my sister (with the one I arrived to Paris) lived here for two years in nearby building, and parents of my husband live in Montparnasse, and that we went to his neighboors to check if their radiators are on. And everyone had heating on. We really had to argue with Michael until he finally wrote that he will "raise up" (I wonder what he raised up if they were stone cold) the temperature and that "it's unhealthy when it's more than 22 degrees...."
Dear Michael, it's not necessary to pretend that the things should be this way, when they are not, and that you wanted to saved up on heating cost. Or there was some other secret reason.... I do think, it's better to raise up a price a little (p.s. I know the heating doesn't cost a fortune in Paris), so at least you wouldn't have to lie. And, also, maybe it would be good to check out your cleaning lady and the quality of her work. Also, the door to sepaprate the apartments could be soundproof. As the sound of vacuum cleaning after midnight party, wasn't what we've expected.
But these are just suggestions, that would make this apartment the most perfect one. To change or not to change it's only your business.
Thank you for everything.
