This spacious two bedroom apartment is conveniently located with easy access to three Métro lines and several bus lines within a short walk. The great open-air Grenelle Market on Wednesdays and Sundays was a frequent destination during our five week stay. We ate in a variety of fine restaurants within a few blocks of the apartment, and had easy access to well-stocked supermarkets nearby.
The apartment itself was roomy and the beds were comfortable. While the apartment was reasonably clean, there were some areas that clearly had not been attended to, and there were necessary repairs that had been either been not reported or overlooked. The kitchen and laundry appliances were generally fine (but please replace the toaster) once we learned how to use them. The manuals were available only in French, including online, and it required a bit of assistance from the rental agency for us to figure out how to use them. At the agent's direction, we replaced the broken coffee maker (that we discovered with an unfortunate mishap) and were promptly reimbursed.
While we did cook breakfast most days and occasional dinners in the apartment, some of the kitchenware is worthy of replacement, especially the sauté pans. The microwave and oven cannot be used at the same time, but the way to make one or the other work was not explained.
We've advised the agent of minor repairs and improvements that should be made (e.g. burnt out light bulbs), and hope that they will be done before the next occupants arrive.
A particular inconvenience was the fact that only one set of keys was provided for an apartment that was intended for up to four people. We were able to get a second set of keys, but doing so required us to be present for the housekeeper's weekly arrival.
Because we arrived late in the evening, we had to make a detour to pick up the keys, but for future rentals, it would be much better if the rental agent could meet the guests at the apartment upon arrival and walk through it, as we've had with other VRBO rentals.
Notwithstanding the issues described here, our experience was quite satisfactory overall, and would certainly rent this or a similar apartment in Paris again. Many thanks to M. Lallier and his team for their support during our visit.
