This really is a lovely apartment. Great location in the 7th - 30 seconds from Rue Cler and a 15 minute walk to the Seine. Lots of places nearby to get fresh cheese and produce and other groceries. We cooked a lot during our stay so very handy. All in all, 5 stars there! All directions and communication was clear and the host very responsive. The apartment felt spacious and the bed was comfy! The windows overlooked a center courtyard. Very charming. The 4 stars for my review was simply the condition of the kitchen and lack of follow thru from the time the property was last rented. Most ALL of the kitchen dishes were filthy with food stuck on and greasy. The washing machine had a strong mildew odor and there was no shower curtain when we arrived. I contacted the host immediately and was first told they would send a member of the cleaning team over and then was told the next day that because it was an VRBO, doing the dishes was the guests' responsibility. We were also instructed how to clean the washing machine and to use the shower without a curtain until it arrived (Day 3 of stay). Again, the host was apologetic, but not overly helpful because I don't think they completely understood that the cleaning company didn't prepare the entire apartment thoroughly for new guests. IMO they need a new cleaning service. FYI - the host did thank me for taking the time to wash the dishes and clean the washing machine so we could use it, but no compensation/break for my troubles.
