Marie and Louis place is nice but a bit smaller than I expected but I guessed that’s Paris everything is small I heard. I like that the place is clean and the design have that Parisian vibe, but I was so disappointed with the quality and size of the towel it so tiny and thin. Bedroom space are really tiny if you have luggage lying around, can’t put anything in the wardrobe because there’s just no space you’ll be shocked how tiny it is that we just ended laughing.
Accessing the apartment door is a bit trouble because you can’t just get it right inserting the key if you are not familiar how it works. Key keeps flying around if you don’t hold it properly.
Accessing the 2nd door before the apartment after 12am in the middle of the night was horrible too because you will get lock out after midnight and it wasn’t clear in their description online that there is a time limit about accessing the door. Unlucky for us we didn’t know that we needed a fob key to access it after midnight because they didn’t gave us the fob key. But I think it was the cleaners mistakes really and not the host bcoz when we check-in the cleaners was there and they are the one who let us in. They gave us I think the key without the fob key by mistakes.
But the thing was when we were locked-out one night and had to stay outside the door to get in for the longest time and in the cold Paris night it was not a good experienced, I must say. Of course we had been trying to call the owner but they are sleeping already at that time and took a long time before we got a responses from them. Louis was a little upset with us for disturbing them so late to open the door for us. I think if you are a tourist it’s expected that you’re coming back to the apartment late at night.
Anyway Louis told me to asked sorry to Marie for disturbing them when Marie get to us in the middle of the night because they lived far away. I understand that so of-course I told him that I will say thank you and sorry for all the trouble that we had caused not knowing that they are actually the one at fault and not us for not giving us the fob key. But anyway I let it go because Louis said it’s both parties fault and I agreed with him at that time. Although my friends was a bit upset bcoz we are the guest and we got locked out for so long but they wants us to apologised instead of them apologising to us.
Anyway when their helper got to us to open the door for us to let us in after half an hour she told us about the fob key if we have it and we said we never had it that’s when we found out they are supposed to give us one so we wont get lock out even we get back to the apartment late.
That’s the only problem we found in the apartment but overall I don’t really mind except the towel size. The location is very near the Eiffel tower. Marie responses to my msg immediately except that horrible one night bcoz she was sleeping already.
I just write these to share our experienced at their apartment so when you wanted to stay with them in the future you can make sure that you have all the key to access the apartment bcoz it wasn’t nice to be locked outside for so long. The living room was pretty and Marie and Louis uses Molton Brown brand for their bathroom which is nice. I didn’t write this to put you off I just did this to help you be mindful so you wouldn’t be in our position. Goodluck x
