I can't recommend this place because of a few things: the location, the room itself, poor cleanliness, and the very poor communication with Debbie. Overall, it was an uncomfortable stay with an unhelpful host in a part of Paris that has nothing to recommend it.
The apartment is right on the edge of Paris, and it takes a long time to get to anywhere central. You need to walk a fair distance to the Metro, and the area is not safe at night. (Uber drivers and everyone I know who lives in Paris told me not to walk around the area and to avoid the Metro at night.) I went home earlier than I wanted to a lot of times to avoid paying for an expensive Uber (at least €16 from Place de Clichy which is the closest place where there is a lot of people around at night- I would get public transport to there, then take an Uber.)
The room is not private. It is a living area and Debbie walks through it to her bedroom. There is a wardrobe used as a partition. There is also a folding screen which can cover the rest of the gap. (Debbie discouraged me from using, but I did use it.) When the screen is used, you have no window in the space, because the window is in the hallway through to Debbie's room.
The ceilings are high and there is a big space above these partitions. You can hear every word Debbie says in the living room next door where she works and is often on Zoom calls, which also means Debbie can hear every sound you make. I wore earplugs a lot while I was there, and tiptoed around. The floors are really squeaky and the doors are noisy to open and close.
Communication with Debbie was poor and generally unfriendly.
Check-in was a really unpleasant experience. Debbie made everything more difficult than it needed to be and was really unhelpful and unwelcoming. She complained about everything I did. She complained about me catching the train from the airport rather than the bus, both in messages while I was on the way and once I arrived, even though the train is the fastest option, especially in afternoon traffic, and she had made NO recommendations about how I should travel to the apartment. When the intercom on the building didn't work, she complained both in messages and when I finally got up to her apartment that I didn't follow a certain man upstairs because he was her neighbour, as if I was magically supposed to know that. (Debbie didn't help me get upstairs, mind you. I had to work it out myself while she stayed in the apartment.)
I let Debbie know that I would arrive at her place between 5:30-6pm. My flight was delayed and I messaged her several times to let her know my progress and finally arrived at exactly 6:10pm. Despite this, Debbie complained when I arrived that she expected me an hour and a half earlier, which was just not true. When I got up to the apartment, she even criticised my name, because it's Rebecca and I don't shorten it to something else, which I thought was just plain rude.
When I arrived Debbie told me she was going away for a week, leaving early the next morning. She had not told me this before. This was really strange. When you rent a room in someone's apartment you expect them to be there. She should have communicated this earlier.
When Debbie was home, communication was poor. She would not say goodbye or tell me she was leaving the apartment. I would be tiptoeing around in my room, thinking Debbie was in her room, then realise later that she had gone out maybe hours earlier. This was a problem for security because she wouldn't let me lock the apartment door when she was home, but it needed to be locked when we were out (and I preferred to lock it when I was home on my own). I never knew whether to lock the door or not because I didn't know if she was home or not.
When I was going out or coming home, Debbie would criticise what I was wearing, or my choice of bag. She took no interest in what I was doing, so there was no friendly conversation, just this kind of ongoing critique. It was really uncomfortable.
I understand that people take in AirBNB guests for the money, but if a host does this, then I think they should make some effort to make the guest comfortable, especially in the way they communicate.
The apartment was not very clean. It was shoes off- which I do in my own place, so I like - but the floors were dirty so my feet or socks would get covered in dust. The pillows were really old lumpy and I woke up every morning with sore and puffy eyes from a dust mite allergy, but this doesn't happen unless the pillows are old. I stayed 15 nights and was not offered clean sheets or a fresh towel.
This was a really bad experience all round.
