I don’t understand all the good reviews for this place. I’m a Parisian expat, i use airbnb in Paris and specially in this particular area for years, i ve never come across an appartement with such a bad value.
The location is the best in Paris. But this has nothing to do with Hannah s place.
I checked in at 9pm, the appartement was freezing cold 12 degres celcius (53 Fahrenheit). I told the host straight away that i wouldn t want to stay in that place, because of course it was cold but also it wasn t cosy. All lightning are white harsh led. Only cactus and dead tree to warm up the vibe.
It is also important to note that the listing isn t a 1 bedroom but a studio. The bed is facing directly the hallway/entrance door, and there is no separation with the living room. Also there is not privacy at all because windows are all over flat, you must close the curtains and live in the dark.
All very early morning (6-7am) when neighbours are going down staircase, i had the feeling they were inside the flat. Had to get up to check the door is well locked.
With all this is consideration the host was so “kind” to cancel the rest of my booking. I told her i was more than happy to give her a compensation and pay more than original price. But i ended up paying nearly double! That was very naughty and made my night in a frozen place totally a nightmare with abusive price- plus of course i had to book another place in emergency and wait outside rainy Paris for hours before i was able to check in another place.
My stay in Paris was only 5 days and, on top of being ripped off, i wasted 1 day to sort out my accomodation situation.
This was my worst airbnb experience ever.
I recommend you stay elsewhere. You can get way better places for better prices with honest hosts.
