The location is excellent.

The building is decrepit. The garbage bins are located inside the front door. As you walk past them and climb the non-carpeted stairs to the FOURTH floor (84 steps up) the paint on the walls is peeling and hallways smell of mold. The apartment is decorated but shabby. The cupboard door under the dishwasher fell off. The dishes were haphazard and we only found most of them in the dishwasher just before leaving. If you are taller than 160 cm you will continually bang your head on a low beam in the bedroom.

The owner's personal items litter everywhere, in some areas, in a very messy state. We had to leave our suitcases on the floor and the bathroom counter had dozens of a dozen wristwatches and perfume bottles on it so that we had no room for our cosmetic bags.

We never met the owner. His father who greeted us complaining that we were delayed 45 minutes arriving due to a late train. We had explained numerous times by email prior to our arrival that we were on a direct train from Paris airport. He mocked us for not having a cell phone with which to call him with our precise arrival time. We had assumed that the TGV high speed train would be on time.

We would never stay here again.
