Has anyone stayed in Ledru Rollin 2? I have seen posts for the 3 bdroom but not the 2. There are no pictures of the kitchen and the BR looks tired!

Thanks.

If you don%26#39;t get a reply on this forum, I would email CentreParis staff and ask them to give you references. Ask for direct contacts of people who%26#39;ve stayed there. If they aren%26#39;t willing to give you that, I probably wouldn%26#39;t use them.
I am probably the one you are referring to who posted about the Ledru Rollin 3 bedroom. I haven%26#39;t been in the two bedroom unit.
I tend to agree with the other poster who said if you don%26#39;t like the photos or if you don%26#39;t see a photo of say the kitchen or the bathroom, there is most likely a reason for that. If your initial reaction is the apt. looks tired, I%26#39;m not sure why you would want to rent it, unless budget is the reason.
I have no problems with the agency. Used them several times. However, they offer budget apts. not luxury.

There are SO many apartments, many with first-hand reviews/references available without asking (and those you request may be suspect), that if you%26#39;re wary (and, no, Joan1, I don%26#39;t mean weary or leery), you can keep looking.
For sure, it%26#39;s daunting search, with all sorts of variables regarding location, method of payment, terms and conditions, etc.
In that most apartments have photos of each and every room, this particular one is somewhat suspect...

Thanks for the tip. I will ask for some photos! I did see your post on the 3 bdroom apt and it was really helpful!

Thanks for your advice! No kidding - it definitely is a daunting search! I%26#39;ve spent way too many hours researching this to death! We%26#39;re headed to Paris in June so now I%26#39;m feeling a bit of a crunch to get something booked!

It would not surprise me if CP did not have any further photos of the apt.
As to references, if they cannot offer you direct email addresses to previous (recent) rentors, then anything they did offer could be seen as suspect. In order to give you direct email addresses, I would imagine they would have to have the permission of the previous tenant. I%26#39;d have no problem if they offered prospective tenants mine, but other people may feel differently. Anything they gave from a %26#39;guest book%26#39; etc. would mean little to me as they are not likely to give you anything negative.
I think most people who use CentreParis do so because they are on a tight budget. I%26#39;m not saying their apts. are crummy, just that they are a bargain and everything may not be four star.
Still, as was said, there are thousands of rental units in Paris. You need to feel good about the one you choose - and the owner/agency it comes with and the contract they offer.

I have booked an apartment that I found through www.VRBO.com. There is a lot of selection and price options. Many of the apartments that I requested were booked but often they would have alternative apartments to check out.
