Paris Marais Maison Lombard

The property is located conveniently close to the station and lots of attractions. Overall the apartment is good, although the furniture is quite old (the fold out bed was creaking and had some metal parts sticking out when open). Most importantly, it is on the street with restaurants and bars, which means there was extreme noise until 3am at night on Friday and Saturday - not recommended for a stay with kids. Wifi was very slow (not suitable for working). Additionally, the check-out instructions required the guest to take out the trash, but didn't explain where it is - such an inconvenience to be carrying bags of trash and looking for suitable garbage bins.

The good: Location is great- walkable to so many great sites and restaurants. Apartment is spacious and pretty windows/light.The bad: as other have said, front bedroom is so loud. Sometimes a sounds machine could cover the noise below but when the crowd started singing together or doing a call and response it would definitely wake you up- Friday and Saturday were the worst. The bed in the front room was also very hard so we didn’t sleep well for our whole stay. Back bedroom was quiet with more comfortable mattress. The conversation with host is clearly AI and awkward at times- I asked if there was laundry detergent provided and was told I needed to buy my own (I thought perhaps it’s not an expectation in France that they provide enough for a load or two but at our next VRBO it was provided). We bought the detergent and then realized the machine wasn’t working- looking back at a recent reviews I could see the machine had been broken for a prior guest and clearly not repaired- the AI host didn’t mention that it may not be working and instead made me waste on detergent I couldn’t use- I doubt we would stay here again.

😊: Location walking distance to many nice places grocery sjop, bakery nearby. 😢: No A/C, soundproof solution missing - the noise frim bars on the street was unbearable, ironing machine not funcrioning, broken furniture, some stains, not very clean.

😊: Nicely renovated. 😢: One room was above a bar, terribly noisy. Very hot, no aircon and only 1 fan, this couldn’t cool the two rooms and family room. Toilet was extremely small, hilarious in fact! The stairs were scary and elevator was tiny..
