Quiet building, loud streets
I'm writing this review as a VRBO Traveler/Owner. Overall, we enjoyed out three week stay yet will likely not return to this apartment in the Montparnasse neighborhood. PROs and CONs for clarity. PROs: good sized apartment, building it was quiet (no loud neighbors) - no short-term hostile stuff; clean common areas+elevator worked; appliances worked; we slept well at night with windows CLOSED; located 30min walk to the Seine; Metro/Train connections, etc. Property management company(Veeve) did a good job. Two oscillating fans helped with the heat at night. CONs: 750 meters away a hospital which draws lots of ambulances and commuters drove past our building morning/night; not a problem in winter as closed windows worked great yet in summer the noise from the street was continuous and *LOUD*. The apartment is "rustic" with very loud creaking floors, old bath taps and could use a couple coats of paint and shower curtain. Cups and bowls have chips in them; some flatware is rusting (ridiculous). Never a super host with that kitchen. Overall it felt the owner is pennywise and pound foolish.
€500 spent at IKEA would polish this gem inside and make up for the structural shortcomings as well as justify the top of market nightly rate.
