Be warned: You are reserving a room in a 2-star hotel.
Although this home is listed on AirBNB, you are booking a room in a 2-star hotel called Hotel Montpensier. To start off, the pictures in the post were not at all similar to the room we ended up receiving. While our room did have two twin beds and a bathroom with shower as advertised, the layout, bedding, curtains, etc were all different. This leads me to believe a common posting is being used to reserve rooms in this hotel.
The lobby is pretty typical, with a 24 hour receptionist to help you check in. The receptionist insisted we leave our key with him when leaving the hotel in case we got pick-pocketed and so that he knew if something was wrong in case we didn't return. This conversation left us feeling quite uneasy, and we didn't leave our keys with him the next day when we went out. The elevator, while operational, is tiny. You can either squeeze in two people, or one person and a bag at any one time.
The room itself: You can tell that the room has been upgraded recently. The new-ish laminate flooring, cabinetry, and bathroom are in stark contrast to the dirty carpeting and dingy walls of the common hallways. The bathroom and hard surfaces were pretty clean. The bedding, however, was not. There is a large cover on the bed that we immediately removed, and underneath was a felt blanket covering white sheets underneath. The felt blanket was COVERED in hair. I don't mean one or two hairs, but over the entire surface. Neither the large cover nor this blanket have been washed in ages. The loose white sheet and fitted sheet underneath seemed freshly laundered, but had a few stray hairs as well.
While the location was fantastic and right in the heart of the 1st Arr., this Air BNB experience left us feeling stressed out and uneasy. After traveling for hours and landing in a foreign city late in the evening, the last thing I wanted to do was think about having to sleep in a bed with dirty sheets.
I would not recommend this AirBNB to others, spend a little more money for peace of mind elsewhere.
