The apartment has spacious bedrooms and living room, it is full of light, tastefully decorated, clean, and centrally located in beautiful Monmartre. We were welcomed by the daughter of the owner.
However, there are a few drawbacks which made our stay not as pleasant as we had expected: 1. There are very loud noises from the street 24 hours a day, and if the windows are open (which they had to be since it was very hot and there is no air condition in the apartment), it is very difficult to have a conversation or sleep at night. The owner was kind enough to bring us a fan when we asked for one.2. There were not enough towels. We were 7 people and we got total of 7 small bathroom towels, much smaller than what we are used to in the US. We asked in an email for a few more towels and got a rather rude response in French (!) - previous correspondence was in English and we are Americans - that she cannot provide the same services as a "grand hotel" for the price we paid and it was very rude of us to email her at 11:00pm.(We emailed, not called!) 3. The stove top was not working. The daughter who welcomed us when we arrived already informed us that the stove top sometimes locks itself automatically. We told the owner but she told us to read the instructions (printed in French and German!). We ended up not using the stove top at all. We did not contact her again because we were upset with her previous response to our email.4. The toilet is very small . Bathroom has a curtain and not a door, and there is no real shower.5. As mentioned in the listing, the apartment is on the third floor, no elevator, and there are over 50 winding steps.
