Emmanuel made us feel very welcome and explained many places of interest to visit. He also gave information on local services that we may need to use. He explained fully the use of all appliances etc within the apartment.
After all of this he stated that the TV was broken and although I didn't go to Paris to watch tv it's nice at the end of the day to be able to watch a little tv before going to bed. I even had to ask for a radio for something to listen to.
He then requested that we stayed in between 8am and 1pm the following day to enable the tv repair man to attend the apartment. I refused to do this explaining I was a guest and wanted to make the most of the time I had exploring the city. He then stated he would try and get the tv repaired either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning when he was there, this never happened and we didn't see Emmanuel again.
He left a note under our door the night before we left. In the note it requested we dispose of any rubbish, clean the cutlery/crockery etc and leave the keys to the apartment on the table when vacating the apartment.
Considering we were charged a cleaning fee the apartment wasn't really up to standard on arrival. There was dirty cutlery, chipped crockery, a cracked ceramic hob although it still worked, grime around the base of the shower, a roller blind that wouldn't close properly due to a knotted broken cord. We had to use cushions against the window to stop the light coming in through the window in the morning and for privacy. Finally the whole apartment requires a spruce up with a coat of paint.
Other than that the apartment was in a very good location and within ease of travelling to all places of interest via the local metro which was only a few minutes walk away.
