PROS: Amazing location, spacious and well-lit apartment, an elevator (tiny, but enough for one person with luggage), clean, very well equipped kitchen, bedsheets and towels were great (like in hotels). The pictures do a great job representing the apartment and is the perfect place for those looking for a true French experience.
CONS: On the same note, the parquet floor is likely the original one and cracks a LOT whenever walking around. Along with the not-sound-proof doors and walls, it makes it really challenging to move around at night without making loud noises. Would not recommend it for medium-to-light sleepers.
In addition to that, the square in front of the building is going under a loud renovation, which starts at 7:30 AM – the host did not let us know (and it seems like it has been happening for a while – perhaps soon to be over?). I wish we were aware of this in order to pick a more silent AirBnB as waking up at 7:30 was not our first choice for a holiday.
TO NOTE: Host requires filling out two extra forms after reserving the place – not sure why this is necessary if we are booking through AirBnB.
