My initial feeling when we found our unit in Paris was disappointment. My expectations were high for some reason. Andrew wasn’t disappointed at all. It was exactly what he expected. I assumed the unit would have a washing machine and searched high and low for one. Why did I assume it would have a washing machine? I don’t know but now we'll have to waste our precious remaining time in Paris finding a laverie and hauling clothes down to wash.
Our unit is in Rue D’Aboukir which is in an interesting area. During the day it’s constant hustle and bustle of delivery people and shoppers but from early evening the professional women appear literally outside our front door. The street is full of clothes shops with the most beautiful designer evening wear and bags, shoes and glittery jewellery at reduced prices.
The location of the unit is great. If it had a really good clean and had a few things fixed it would be ok. Andrew had to do a few minor maintenance jobs when we arrived. Not what you would expect when you’re paying over €1500 for 11 nights. The main things were plumbing things like the airconditioner water dripping down the wall, the bathtub water wouldn’t drain and the shower head was broken. Painful.
