    The location is good, but no cleaning at all!

    Please be aware that this property has some problems. The cleaning is not ok, some parts inside the premises are damaged. We are not responsible for what we found inside this apartment. I will add some pictures with the proof. In the evening we get to this property the access code to the main entrance building door was not working. We stayed more than one hour in the street. We have two kids with us and this situation was very uncomfortable. We tried the code several times, we even tried to call the property but no answer. I wanted to report there was a problem with the access code - I was misguided and very confusing information was provided to me regarding the access codes. In my account on their platform for check-in I have received a different access code than the access code received on the email. I want to report this because they should not misleading guests with wrong and confusing access information. The main door opened after more than 20 attempts...and this situation is not normal when you wait with 2 kids in the street at 10 pm in the night. This problem should be fixed and they should be more careful with the information they provide to the guests.

    The location was in the heart of the city. The towels and bed sheets were ok.

    The communal areas are dirty, nobody cleans, there was broken glass on the stairs, cages of dirty laundry permanently blocking the main entrance of the building, blocking the staircase access and the lift doors, the lift doesn’t work, no internet in my flat from the second day onwards, the tv doesn’t work, nobody available in the support line, I spent huge amounts of my time calling the support line to get someone to get me the Wi-Fi fixed all I got was silence, empty promises, lies, and even a rude staff telling me blatantly that there would be nobody to help me, period.

    The size, the location, the decoration, and furniture.

    We booked for 4 people and there was just towels and sheets for 2 people, the sofa bed was broken and impossible to use, and there were pieces of wood screwed to the entry door side. Staff responded quickly but didn’t helped with anything, so the other 2 people needed to find another solution for the night.

    the apartment is located in the city center with an amazing view, check in was easy and trouble free.

    Booked for 3 nights, and I can boldly say it is the worse accommodation we have ever stayed. First, the code for the front door did not work. No one was around, luckily someone was coming out, so we got in. Upon entrance, it smelt so badly you will think a dead animal was stowed somewhere under the stairs. The elevators did not work either, so we had to endure walking up the flight of smelly stairs to our place on the 3rd floor. The house itself was not clean. It was so irritating. The couch had stains on it. In one of the rooms, foil paper was used as a window blind. The other room that had the balcony was nothing like the pictures. Generally, the place was poorly maintained. We complained and nothing was done for the 3 days spent, but at 10:34am on check out day, a man came into the room without knocking to ask us to check out. Check out was at 11am. It baffles me how one can have property in a good location but refuse to maintain it. I generally never leave bad reviews but if I can give this accommodation a minus 100, I would.

    Thank you for making us struggle for the last few days and making us have the worst holiday possible. The lift wasn’t working and we had to walk up and down 80+ stairs. I mentioned that my child has a disability and couldn’t walk much and I also couldn’t pick him up because he’s 6 years old and I would’ve had a backache but still nothing was done and we had to struggle the whole week. We complained to the smartflats many times but they kept telling us that they’ll get back to us but no one got back to us. The apartment wasn’t like it’s shown in the picture. Nothing was working including the tv, Wi-Fi, microwave. And the curtains were broken so they decided to put foil on it. There were mosquitoes everywhere in the building. Whenever we would enter the building there would be a horrible smell that we were unable to bear it for even few seconds. Overall the biggest problem was my child had an eye infection, mosquito bites everywhere and now he’s unwell. I will never recommend this to anyone.

    Great location but a few inconveniences with the apartment.

    The legs at the foot of the sofa bed were broken so it would tip down. I contacted the host with our address and some photos. They replied the next day asking for the address so I resent it. They replied the following day asking for photos so I resent those too. After these two days of procrastination they thanked me for letting them know. They didn't fix it. We were able to make it work by putting a small table under the foot of the sofa bed. The shower was a bit moldy (black in the shower tray). The drain was too slow to keep up with the flow so it flooded the floor. To avoid this you have to run the shower in short bursts and wait for it to drain. There were a few inconveniences: there was no shower gel in the shower; there was no plug in the sink and the light over the sink didn't work. There was a battery missing from the safe so that didn't work. Ask the smoke alarms had been removed. The neighborhood was very noisy. People are shouting most of the night. Cars with exceptionally sound systems drive through all night. People rev their engines and drive through at high speed. The building entrance lobby smells. I suspect this was because the owners keep carts of laundry in there.

    The location in the Opera district is great: there are tons of restaurants and shops. It is very close to St. Denis church with its famous wooden altarpiece. It is a 5-minute walk from the #1 Bus to the main Guillemins railway station. The apartment was well equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, TV. The apartment has plenty of natural light: there are lots of windows in the living room. It has a skylight in the bedroom.
