While this apartment mostly has what it says it has, it could really benefit from some updates and cleaning. It’s got the space for a big group and the location is convenient, but it wasn’t as comfortable as I had hoped it would be. One major note: we were there during some serious summer heat at the AC is actually portable units. Coming from the US you may think this is fine, it is not. In Paris it seems the way with portable units is to simply leave the window open and prop the exhaust tube outside. Sounds ok but in reality when the windows are floor to ceiling, you are leaving a massive window open, hoping the exhaust stays outside (it doesn’t always do this which then leads to filling the room with exhaust in the night), letting the heat in, and somewhat cooling the room down. Add to that the level of the apartment right above a fairly busy street that is loud in the late night and early morning, and you have a recipe for very little sleep. Additionally, there are three total units but four bedrooms and the living room where additional people are meant to sleep.The furniture and surfaces felt a bit like a dorm. Not quite clean, upholstery really unpleasant (rough, a bit grimy and stained, just not comfortable to be on), like you want to wear shower shoes and slippers. This didn’t quite match up with the lovely photos which was disappointing.The hosts were very responsive and kind but overall I felt a bit uncomfortable staying there with my family and small kids.
