Accommodation and Facilities for the apartment in Paris, France

A few questions we've been asked

Does the apartment have a view over Paris? No, the two large traditional windows look over a little courtyard covered with security glass. On the other hand you will not be troubled with traffic or general street noise. Is the area 'typically touristic'? The street is a mix of Parisian flat owners who live and work there, mixed in with a fair amount of tourists who rent out various flats. You'll see Paris 'in the raw' on the street, that is to say you'll see the locals - they will speak French and maybe sound a little loud on occasion, that's the French way, but it can be a bit daunting to start with. Is the apartment building pretty? It is a traditional building, the paintwork and lighting in the entrance is in my opinion in need of improvement! However, these things are paid for by all the tenants by mutual agreement, sometimes not an easy procedure bearing in mind the costs of property and consequent flat prices in Paris. We're trying!

A few more questions

Is renting a private apartment the same as staying in a hotel? Thankfully not, you eat what you want, when you want. On the other hand there is no daily maid service - you do your own cleaning up. Is there a cleaning service payable on departure? Normally renters leave the apartment in the good clean order that they find it, in which case there is no charge. If you wish to pay for a cleaning service on your departure then that can normally be arranged (excluding dishwashing). Are basic things like shower gel, tea, coffee included? No, but there's a shop for the little urgent items just across the street!
