Cozy cocoon near the Louvre Museum

The apartment was cute and well-designed, and located exactly where we wanted to stay. The neighborhood is walkable and safe. We didn't hear any street noise while we were there. One thing I would advise future travelers to do is check Whats-app for check-in instructions, not just your email...that will save you some moments of worry. Once I figured that out, the host was responsive and friendly.

Sheets had obviously not been changed. No blankets. Just a thin throw. WiFi not working. Contacted the representative. He said it would be fixed the next day. It was not. I had to work and left the property on Friday am. I contacted the rep and Hostn. They did not acknowledge my mails. Key was put back in safe box.

The host is awful. The key to our door only works if a strong man forces it to turn. We were stuck outside for over an hour at 1am trying to open the door. The host would not answer his phone. The only people around were drunk men. I'm a young woman. It was extremely scary and dangerous for me to ask one of them for help. I had no choice but to get one of them to help me. It took the man a long time to get the key to work because of how jammed it was. Our checkout was at 10am and the host hasn't even looked at my many messages/missed calls, pleading for help (it's currently 10:30am and still nothing from him) My grandma and I were almost forced to sleep on the ground outside of the apartment because of the host. The key worked the first time I opened the door and put our stuff in. Had that random man not helped us, all our bags and my grandmother's medications would have been locked inside, forcing us to miss our flight. I'm appalled that the host still has not contacted us. We would have been so screwed. I want a refund immediately. That was a traumatic experience for the both of us.
