Appartement Popincourt Republique Paris

😊: The apartment was close to the nearest metro station.. 😢: We would not advise anyone to stay here. As soon as you enter the property the smell of damp & mold hits you. The bathroom is covered in black mould. It is not a safe or healthy environment to spend any time in. The toilet didn’t flush properly (the toilet had a plunger beside it). There is only 1 window to ventilate the entire apartment, which is why there is a dehumidifier in the property we assume (although the host has tried to say it is an air con machine, which it clearly isn’t). The noise throughout the night was colossal. We couldn’t find any alternative accommodation (we had 2 children with us) but did end up changing our train tickets as soon as some became available to leave the property and go home early because we couldn’t bare to stay another night. Visible damage to fire safety alarm in the communal tenement building which we spotted when leaving the building with all our luggage - very concerning. The sofa bed was broken on arrival but to be honest that was the least of our worries. This was the last out of our 6 places we had stayed in during our inter-railing holiday, a really bad end to an otherwise wonderful holiday. (See images - most of my footage is on video, but uploading video is not an option here)..

😊: the place is well located and very near to metro stations, also about 30 min (probably less) from Gare du Nord train station. 😢: Both bed and matress have seen better days.

😢: The cleaning wasn’t very detailed. Especially in the kitchen..

😊: Good location. Clean, comfortable and well appointed apartment.. 😢: Internet wasn’t working for our whole stay. The host did continue to try and rectify it..
