On December 2019 we agreed to rent an apartment in Paris in Notre-Dame des Champs, near the Vaneau metro station, on the .'first ' floor, or so we were told.
On June 2022 we arrived to a l'Échaudé sreet apartment on the 'third' floor, accessible only after 3 flights of stairs and another interior staircase to reach the living room and kitchen. The apartment did not match the photos shown on VRBO listing. In addition there were problems with the apartment: a loose faucet in the toilet room along with no towels and towel hanger to dry our hands, a loose door knob on the main entrance door easily dislodged, a toaster requiring a lot of force to engage, a TV with French stations only, no hair dryer, lack of space in rooms to put your toiletries. The adequate compact kitchen was lacking cups for the coffee. We never saw our proprietors, Emails sent regarding the faucet and doornob were not answered. However they did brought a kitchen towel and washing soap that was left at the front door in response to a phone call request. Overall we felt that the l'Échaudée apartment was not the apartment we saw in the VRBO listing, especially with respect to the multiple long staircases required to reach the apartment, far more then 'the private entrance steps' describe by the owner, not to mention the interior staircase between the bedrooms / toilet and the kitchen/living room.
