We loved being in the center of Le Marais in this traditional Parisian building. Unfortunately, once inside the flat, there is not a lot of care taken to create a comfortable or hospitable stay. We were three adults and the flat was tight for us. The building staircase, (a three floor walk up with no elevator) is under construction. Inside the apartment, there are no basic needs: you must bring your own soap - but don't expect a soap dish nor toilet paper holder as neither exist. The electrical plugs spark each time they are used and the cover plates fall off. The linens are thin and pillows are like rocks. But the most difficult part of our stay happened on Day 3: after walking up the three flights at the end of a long day of walking and shopping, we were locked out of the apartment for 6 hours, as the door lock stopped functioning. The managers did not respond quickly, nor with a plan, whihc caused us to loose our dinner reservations as we could not shower nor change. We were exhausted, frustrated and concerned about the safety of our belongings. As the main apartment door (there are two doors required for entrance) was never fixed and we were required to keep the door wide open the last two days of our stay. As a gesture, the management entered the apartment the next day to leave bottle of champagne, which, also put us in a situation of concern for our belongings.
Finally, and most importantly: the management showed little interest during check-in, was hard to reach during the front door crisis, and did not seem to care about making things easy for the guests.
Paris was hard to spoil, we loved our time there, but would not return to this flat nor any run by this management team.
