As an agency we use all our organization to continuously improve our service and the nice apts we manage. Any issue would be systematically acted upon. We cannot do much about the stairs, it is frequent in old buiidings that were build at the beginning of the 19th. We are always happy when our guests are fully satisfied with their stay AND mention it. Thanks for your nice comment. Please come back any time.

Hi Amy, Thanks for your kind review. Hope to host you again in Paris! Sincerely, JN

Hi Jane, Thanks for your review. Glad to hear you found the apartment to be in a great location and quiet. The nearby park named "les arènes de Lutèce" is very lovely indeed. Hope to host you again in Paris. Sincerely, Paul

Hi Sally, Thanks for your review and glad to hear you found that communication was great and the apartment as described. Concerning the stairs here is the historical explanation: This is the Latin Quarter, a very central and old part of Paris. Many buildings including this one have been built centuries ago, with narrow stairs. When later the elevator was invented, there was not enough space left to insert one. Parisians are used to it and consider it a part of the charm of living in a historical building. We wouldn’t recommend this kind of apartment to anybody needing or preferring to have an elevator, more recent buildings have elevators. On the other hand, guests who don’t mind stairs generally love this apartment. That said we do manage a few apartments including some with elevators, and we look forward to being able to host you again in one of them, during your next trip to Paris. Sincerely, Paul

Hi Heidi, Thanks for your review and glad to know you found the apartment to be nice. To explain : The stairs in the buildings of the central part of Paris have mainly been constructed more than a century ago. They were narrow because of the cost. One century later it doesn't leave a place to build an elevator. Next time do not hesitate to ask us for an apartment in a more modern bulding with elevator. Ancient buildings in the central districts are charming but stairs can indeed be difficult to manage for the olders. Café Jussieu is indeed a nice place to take a drink! Hope to host you again in Paris. Sincerely, Paul

Hi Addison, We are an agency managing the apt for the owner. We are very sorry that your felt frustrated by the deposit issue that finally was not retained. After your stay, we noticed stains on the flooring of the apartment. In case of possible damages we always contact the guest to discuss the issue before taking a decision. We sent you a mail right away. Additionally, VRBO procedure requires hosts to signal a possible problem. It does not mean any funds will be retained. Once we received your reply you saying that it was probably water from the clothes put to dry, we reached out to our colleague to verify the flooring again after a few days. She confirmed that effectively, there were no stains anymore. We then sent you a message confirming this and refunded your security deposit. We understand that the procedure can be stressing for the guest. Unfortunately it is out of our power to modify it. As far as the fuse was concerned, it can happen at any time to anyone. Had we been informed about it, we would have sent someone over to have it repaired. Please know that it was repaired during the clean after your stay and the light was replaced. You will understand, as an agency, our role is to be an intermediary between the guest and the host. I am sure you would appreciate that we care about apts if you were an owner.

Hi Arnim, Thanks for your kind review. Sincerely, JN
