the property is in an excellent location a three minute walk from the Maubert-Mutualite metro station, and within easy walking distance of restaurants, markets, and the Pantheon. neighborhood is moderately quiet; it is well furnished for 1 or two persons, has a washing machine for laundry, but no microwave. it is, on the 4th floor (fifth floor for us Americans), and was not the cleanest (some sawdust on the baseboards (there is a unit being renovated opposite), a couple of stray hairs under the bed and in the carpet, but in general it was okay. the owner/management communication left a lot to be desired- they “forgot” to send me the “automated” email with the access codes by 1800 the night before, as stated. they either never replied to messages on Vrbo, or replied days later. when i called the management number, as i was on the train to Paris the day of check in), they “couldn’t find” my booking (eventually they did). for checkout they require a photo, but Vrbo doesn’t allow photo attachments to its message service? i texted it to the management number and requested confirmation, and then messaged on Vrbo requesting confirmation. it is now 4 days later, still no word.this could be a wonderful base for exploring Paris for an experienced traveler who isn’t easily flustered by poor communication from management- make sure you have a local/international telephone (so you can call/text them, as they won’t respond to your Vrbo messages in time).
