Location was in a very cute safe neighborhood, mono-prix is just round the corner, the metro stop is a few minutes walk, there are a couple of cafes and restaurants in the area (pizza, sushi), Eiffel Tower is a close walk as well about 20 minutes.
The apartment really needs maintenance, I will start with the sofa bed in the living room, if you are more than two travelers then do not book this place. The sofa bed is junk. It’s so old, over used and uneven, the springs will hit every backbone and it is not balanced, your legs will be elevated downwards (my back felt like it was breaking every night and morning). It’s truly old and way over used and very very dirty. The whole thing needs to be replaced. I’m sure the owner has not opened it and slept on it to see how bad it is.
The shutters do not provide darkness, if you have kids and want them to sleep early (this is not the place for you) the shutters are very very old metallic and don’t close properly, they also do not block out light at all.
The doors to the apartment are very worn out and old (DO NOT CLOSE ANY DOOR) or IT WILL get stuck.
In all, the apartment is not well kept, most of the things are very worn out, clearly it is not maintained. We were greeted by a lady who didn’t know or has never been to the apartment before, she was as clueless as us.
We had to ask around to figure out that there are two addresses in the same area with the same number but only one with villa. Make sure you go to 4 villa Eugene Manuel and not 4 Eugene Manuel.
Again the lady who checked us in had no idea and it seemed it was her first time in the apartment.
We were given an earlier check in but not as early as we had hoped, we knew there was no one in the apartment the night before and we only got in around 12 (this was annoying as we had reached Paris at 6am).
This apartment has the potential to be much much better, the cleaning was not good at all and thank god we had packed our own sheets (the sheets in the apartment had pubic hair on it)…. It was def. Not washed properly.
You need to get your own supplies for toilet rolls shampoo etc, there was only one roll provided in the apartment and very tiny shampoo and soap. This didn’t bother us as I had reviews saying this before and we came prepared.
There was no fan in the apartment !!!! Make sure you ask for one it gets very very hot and you def. Need it. We were provided with one ( it was dropped off while we were not in the apartment ) and it was also broken we had to support it onto a wall and some chairs. Again everything is not well Maintained and not cared for. You will know what I mean once you go there. The selling point is the view of Eiffel Tower, that’s pretty much the only positive we found.
