First of all, I am really satisfy with the host and she was really helpful. But there are a couple of words I want to say and thus causing me to cancel my reservation,
1) The bathroom overall was not clean enough. The sink, the shower floor all have stain and old yellow mold. Honestly, I am the kind of person really picky on the bathroom cleanliness. And the shower is the kind that I do not stand barefoot on.
2) I probably didn't read careful enough if it is stated in the listing. the bathroom that is right next to the room isn't really function-able to take shower...the host asked me to take it on the first floor bathroom to share with her...
3) The surroundings of the building is not safe enough. This place lives in a really dark and old building and I don't feel safe on that street and inside the building. It wasn't listed in the listing that the apartment is inside such an old building and the two doors accessing the building wasn't locked thus every single person is able to access into the building
4) Noises and unsafetiness from the neighbor. The room right next to this apartment is under construction and the worker working next door wasn't polite when i tried to talk to him and asking where this Airbnb room was. Even inside the room, i was able to hear the noise from this next door when I tried to have some rest.
OHH, forgot to mention!! There is NO LOCK on the bedroom door...I don't feel safe for sleeping at such a unfamiliar room without a lock. Another thing is especially in Paris, i wouldn't want to carry everything with me when I am out...but leaving passport/all cash and stuff in the room while the host is out during the day? And she also rent out another room on Airbnb to another traveler that I don't know of? probably not a good idea!!
Overall, it's a great location but unacceptable conditions of the rooms. Worth it if you are really on a budget, but even if I were, I wouldn't choose this place again.
