Jean Michel L. 's profile on MorningCroissant

10 sleep on a barge - Eiffel Tower This barge is located in the perfect setting on the Seine, just 10 minuets stroll along the waters edge to the Eiffel Tower. Close to all amenities, restaurants and sites required for your stay in Paris. Which is a major plus point as no car needed once you've arrived.

However, the website does not mention that the barge is split into 3 apartments, so you don't get the whole barge to yourself. Not a major problem, just nice to know these things beforehand.

Great communication from the owner on how to find it etc. and how to get in, photos and instructions on Wi-Fi and TV etc. etc. etc. However the downside to our stay was the condition of the apartment we stayed in. It was very tired to say the least, it was in desperate need of a really good clean, refresh on paintwork as lots of dirty marks and in general the condition of the blinds, furniture and fixings need attentions as lots of blinds very dirty and broken or not working at all so tied up.

The smell of damp down stairs particularly was quite bad, and cobwebs on the ceiling and blinds didn't help. So this needs to be considered for anyone who is an asthma sufferer.

The photo's on the website do not give a true reflection of the apartment we stayed in, which was the back of the boat the only photo is the last photo on the website. The bathrooms where smelly one of them quite unpleasant, the mould on the ceilings in the shower cubicle and round the base was quite un-inviting.

The plants on the deck area where all dead and covered in cobwebs and not in beautiful condition as shown in the website photos.

The barge in general was very disappointing however again the location of the barge can not be faulted. This could be an exceptional place to stay, with just a little bit of time and effort put into cleaning it up. I have let the owner know my thoughts, I hope he takes things into hand.
