I have mixed feelings about this place. I'll start with the good: The place is massive and has lots of room. Two floors, 4 bedrooms, a nice kitchen and living room. This is a real plus. It also has decent air conditioning. Two bathrooms are also great. Check-in was smooth and easy. Communication was also good. Location is pretty nice, it is close to the Arc De Triumph metro station, and there is a nice grocery store around the corner. There is also a washing machine which is a real plus.
The bad: The single worst part was the apartment had a foul odor that smelled like someone had broken a 5 gallon jar of pickles inside or something. A vinegar smell. I can't say if this is normal or if it had to do with our stay and was caused by the previous tenants or what. I don't know. But we were there for 5 nights and the odor persisted for our entire trip and really made it feel less like a comfortable place to be. We tried opening the windows and airing it out but it didn't help. The furniture is also quite dated and stained. The beds were nothing special. If you've used AirBnB in a major city in Europe you're probably familiar with these companies that are managing multiple properties. This is one of those, so the whole experience is a little less personal. It's also worth noting that a number of the 5-star reviews are clearly fake, you can trace the people into a circular web of leaving positive reviews on multiple properties managed by the same group. This isn't surprising, I see it all the time, so I don't necessarily hold that against them. All that said, I do believe they are making an effort to provide a good service and run a successful business. I just think they need to step it up in this particular location, especially at the price they are charging. Bottom line: I would stay there again if it smelled better and the furniture were updated a bit. Otherwise, probably not.
