Entire Apartment Under The Parisian Roofs

This was my 8th VRBO & 7 of 8 have been wonderful. The second to last night my son came into the main room, where I was on the fold out sofa bed, and informed me a bed bug was on my sheets. I had previously shown him a rash on my legs but did not know cause.The apartment was surface clean upon arrival, but we soon discovered 2 dirty towels set out for us. No wash clothes. No hand towels. Mold on the washing machine rim. No AC, despite listing AC—just a fan about a foot wide. Day temps were high 70’s. We were uncomfortable with curtains missing from 2 windows, one in the room I slept, the other in the bathroom, in which construction workers were working on the roof next door. The owner’s toiletries were left in the bathroom.We observed a glueboard under the sink, which we believed is used to catch mice. The refrigerator, a mini fridge, was filled with the owner’s food, leaving little space for groceries. As a result, we ate out every meal, adding unexpected cost to our stay.The beds were a mattress atop a wooden structure, resembling a bookcase, not boxsprings. The shower didn’t drain properly— water pools a few inches deep. My son slipped and fell on day 3.The apartment is located on the fifth floor with no elevator as listed. It was very tiresome trying to get luggage up and down the stairs. The furnishings appear to be items found at a thrift store or on the street, as indicated by a previous VRBO renter from New York.

Wonderful property wtih a very generous and kind owner. The place is ideal for a couple (luxurious) and will work for two couples or a couple with kids. One full bedroom, other a pull out couch. Overall excellent and super comfortable.

My family really enjoyed staying in Marco's apartment. There was plenty of space for the 4 of us (2 parents & 2 children). The location of the apartment was ideal as it is very close to a boulangerie, café, métro, supermarket, and more. All utilities worked well, especially the washer. Marco did an excellent job of explaining everything to us. The wifi signal was strong and reliable. We would certainly stay there again!!!!!

A perfect place to stay in a lively area. The apartment is lovely and in a great location. Nearby lively Rue Montorgeuil area full of restaurants, bars, cafes. Handy grocery store just a couple doors down. The beds were very comfortable. Marco was very prompt with communications. We loved everything about it.

Amazing location for expericing Paris. Close to metro, a ton of restaurants, and next door to groceries. Was enough space for family of 5 to spread out.

The good things, building is charming, great area. Bed comfortable. Easy check in. Negatives, only two pieces of real furniture in living, 2 stained couches. No coffee table, only one small side table. Furnishings mismatched and look as though they were found on the streets of Paris. This person's idea of decorating is to display every paperback book and CD he's ever owned in every nook and cranny and several bookshelves. Kitchen is rough around the edges. Floors worn, place needs a paint job. Hairs all over bathroom floor when I arrived. This apt. could be a winner but it's pretty sad, run down and frankly depressing. I would never go back.

We really loved our stay. There was plenty of of room for our family of 4- two teenage boys included. Marco was such a gracious host and even mailed items to us that we left behind. We hope to be able to stay again!

The apartment was very clean and the check in was very easy… also the communication with Marco was very easy comfortable. We really loved the apartment which had much space and looked very nice. I really recommend to stay in this very nice apartment in a very beautiful neighborhood with much cafes and bars :) Thank you for the nice stay in your apartment Kind regards Anton

We spent 4 nights in this apartment with our sons (12, 9 and 8). The apartment was great! It was warm with warm water and clean linens, and enough space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked and if we needed anything the Franprix was nearby. The neighborhood was very safe and the apartment was well located with bakeries and bistros nearby. It was also 10-15 min walk to either the Louvre or Les Halles. Marco was a friendly host who took the time to wait for us at the apartment and then show us how everything worked. While we didn't need to trouble him during our visit since everything in the apartment was easy to find and use. He left us his number and told us to call whenever, though we didn't need to. Just one thing to point out - there are stairs to get to the apartment - not an issue for us but just something to note. We had a great time and would stay there again!

An interesting space on the top floor in an wonderful neighborhood. You have to climb the stairs, but at the top is a fun space with room for our family of 6. Wonderful breezes and neighborhood views from the windows. There is a nice little grocery store just a few doors down that was very handy. Overall a fantastic experience.
