Superbe appartement 1min métro7 Rez-de-chaussée - One-Bedroom Apartment

😊: It sheltered me from the elements. The door lock worked. It was where the ad stated it would be. Those are the only reasons why I cannot call in good conscience this booking a scam. That's about it, everything else was not ok.. 😢: Area is rough - I didn't mind much but I know many people who would have been uncomfortable going out at dark there. Very bare apartment - no place to store clothes, not even a hook on the wall for your jacket - most of the storage space was occupied by the linen and cleaning implements so you have to keep everything inside your luggage. Unfortunately even if I could get through all this, I could not get through the roaches and the mice in the property. The idea of having a mouse crawl all over me as I sleep, or the fear of bringing a "surprise" back home in my luggage, forced me to book another hotel mid-stay and leave the property at my own expense. Shameful. Do yourselves a favour and do not pick this booking, even if it's cheap it's still not cheap enough, please believe me..

😊: Nothing is admirable in this property. Waste of money!. 😢: I regret booking this property. The experience fell far below the standards I expect from a listing on Booking.com. The host prioritised extra charges over guest comfort, requesting €65 for an early check‑in, which forced me to wait until the stated 17:00 check‑in time. The apartment itself was disappointing: the heating did not work, the bedspread was dirty, the floor was dusty, and the bathroom cubicle door was loose enough to pose a safety risk. The surrounding area also felt unsafe, with individuals openly selling drugs on the adjacent street. I was genuinely alarmed and surprised that a property in such a location could be listed on a reputable platform. Booking.com should thoroughly verify properties before approving them, as some fall below even basic motel standards..

😊: The apartment is close to the metro, so it’s easy to get to Paris. The host responded quickly to our messages. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the place was quiet, which allowed us to rest well.. 😢: The neighborhood felt quite run-down, and we didn’t feel very safe walking around. There was a constant smell of cigarette smoke in the apartment, as if someone had smoked there before. We would have appreciated some extra towels for hands and hair. There wasn’t enough toilet paper or shower gel, and the only shower gel available was for men. The entrance area was rather bare — a bit of decoration or at least a coat rack would make it more welcoming. A rug would also help in the apartment. Finally, the rental contract and the 300 EUR deposit felt a bit excessive and complicated for just a 5-night stay..

😊: Really nice apartment, extremely close to the subway. It is small, but has everything you may need. The host was also friendly and always available.. 😢: Just the additional rental contract and the damage deposit was a bit tedious back-and-forth, but it went fine and I can understand the host wanting to be on the safe side. Also, next time in Paris I will probably pick a different neighbourhood..
