MBA - Cavalloti Splendide Appartement

The location is very central and well connected. The apartment was comfortable for 6 adults. The kitchen and white goods were available. Bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Wardrobes were perfect for clothes. The basement floor was naturally cool despite the heatwave outside. Great value for money!

The outside temperature was 35 degrees celsius. Three fans were working of which one pedestal fan was useful, a tower fan sort of blowed some air and a second tower fan worked with a heavy rattling noise that we couldn't use it. The latter was reported to the owner via the WhatsApp number given but there was no response. There was an air cooler available, but it did not blow any cold air even with the ice packs provided and was too tiny to cool the ground floor. So, it would be ideal if the owner takes care of the inside temperature regulation particularly on the ground floor when outside temperature goes above 30 degrees celsius to make the stay comfortable for people. We understand that most buildings in Paris do not have air conditioners, but strong pedestal fans in all rooms at least in the ground floor will make a huge difference (note that the basement floor was naturally cool, which is great even during heatwaves!)

Le calme, la taille du logement et son emplacement

Dommage qu'il ne soit pas possible d'aérer l'appartement mise à part une fenêtre de la salle de bain

La casa è dotata di ogni confort, arredata bene in una zona tranquilla abbastanza vicino alla metro di Place de Clichy. Molto vicina al Moulain Rouge a poca distanza dalla bellissima zona di Montmartre. Ho chiesto di posticipare il check out e sono stati molto disponibili ad accontentarmi.

Unica nota negativa, nella stanza di sotto c'era un leggero odore di fogna.

This ground floor (and basement) apartment has really comfortable beds, sofa and armchair with a nice, decent sized circular dining table and quite a cute little kitchen. Upstairs double bedroom comfy if very tiny. The upstairs shower was a good one. A good location opposite lovely cafe and nice Argentinian restaurant. Just a couple of streets away from a superb boulangerie and the local Carrefour and a short walk from Place du Clichy allows for an interesting walk or easy bus / metro to the centre of Paris and up to Montmartre. Lots of lovely bars, cafes and restaurants along Rue des Dames. This apartment feels secure. Even though it's ground floor and glass fronted, you feel hidden from view.

Here's the things we weren't so happy about... All windows and external doors are permanently locked - you cannot open a single window, so there is absolutely no fresh air. The downstairs bathroom smelt so bad our kids refused to use it. Kettle broken. Coffee pod machine unreliable. TV in lounge didn't work. Upstairs bedroom door handle broken. Upstairs toilet seat wonky. And most shockingly for Paris... no bottle opener! Pheweeee - that's quite a list now I've written it all down! I personally didn't like the 3 levels of security to get into the property - I felt claustrophobic. Windows are covered with privacy film apart from top 1/4 so when you open the blinds, you can see the sky but not much else. My daughter left behind a Kindle and we're having no luck contacting the hosts to sort out sending it back. If you read this review hosts, please make contact! Thanks.
