While this unit is in a fabulous location in the Marais, there is an obvious difference between units rented by private owners and units rental by 'rental companies' like this one. The unit is not maintained to the same standards as those that belong to private owners - and we have staid in dozens of airbnbs across 5 continents in the last 15 years.
Check-in was very easy; they allowed us early check-in that morning. We were on the top floor, which is incredibly hot in the summer. There is an air con unit that helps, but the exhaust hose is too short to reach the window so it puts out more hot air in the exhaust than it does cold air - to reach the window we had to lift the AC unit on top of one of the coffee tables. The mattresses on the two pull-out sofa beds are very thin, and the sofa covers themselves are worn and stained. The two rugs were also worn and stained as well. And the bathtub drain was clogged.
The bathroom is also in the bedroom, so anyone sleeping on the pullout beds needs to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked appliance-wise, but less so in terms of implements. For the price, we have stayed in much better, more comfortable places in Paris; I think the difference is when you stay at an Airbnb that’s privately owned versus one like this that’s owned and run by a company - they cut corners and focus on profit rather than experience.
