PROS:
-Great, historical neighborhood (two blocks from the Place des Vosges)
-Elegant building facade
-View of park with rose garden
-Nicely decorated
-Giant windows with lots of natural light
-Deep bathtub
-Convenient appliances
CONS:
-Had to wait 15 mins for the cleaning person to finish before moving in at 7:00 PM
-Young people drinking and smoking on the stoop, right next to our window at night
-Construction noise from adjoining unit in the morning and afternoon
-Furniture does not match pictures (i.e., no Isamu Noguchi coffee table as shown)
-Uncomfortable bed (way too soft)
-Although clean in the obvious places (floor, sinks, bath, toilet) further scrutiny indicates management ignores details:
--Unrepaired water damage on kitchen ceiling
--Burned out light bulb in sleep area
--Telephone showerhead leaked from bottom, spraying everywhere
--Telephone showerhead could not be affixed to take a shower, you have to hold it
--Only two rolls of toilet paper provided
--Few towels provided and they were old and mismatched
--Dirty windows
--Washer smelled like a wet dog and has clearly never been cleaned
-Requirement that guests take out the garbage despite 50 Euro cleaning fee
No a bad stay, just a mediocre one.
