Beautiful apartment - 1BR/4P - Sentier

We had a really nice stay!

Overall, this was a decent stay. The pros were that Joffrey was friendly and very responsive, the apartment looked like the photos, and the location was ideal. There were some downsides. When issues arose, Joffrey was responsive, but solutions were consistently “band-aids.” For example, there was a very strong smell emanating from the bathroom sink. Every few days they came and poured chemicals down the drain, which helped, but temporarily. As a second example, the primary wifi network did not work. Rather than fixing it, Joffrey provided logins for several other networks from different units until one eventually worked. The biggest concern was that there were cockroaches and spiders throughout the apartment. I woke up with several insect bites in the mornings — this could have been from insects due to the windows being open (which was needed for air circulation), but I’m not entirely sure. Either way, the cockroaches and spiders were quite gross, and even crawled in the fridge.

The only downside is that there is no elevator, and you have to climb up to the 4th floor. The staircase is narrow, so after a long day of sightseeing, it's tiring to climb many more stairs. Also, the beds are very hard, and the shower is very narrow. There is nowhere to hang a purse or coat.

Very nice and new apartment in a quiet street at the end of Rue St Denis in the middle of Paris. Steep and narrow stairs to the 4th floor, not for everyone. To get there is not easy: The street is difficult to get into, small, one-way and without any place to stop to unload, so keep in mind with your luggage. The apartment is clean and completely new. Our Tv and wifi did not work, the host replies but did not solve these problems on time. Nevertheless the location makes everything OK.
