The host (Gilbert) was responsive and offered suggestions on local tips on transportation, etc. and was accommodating on our request for early check-in. Gilbert was not able to meet us during our check-in but sent his friend Linda who showed us around Gilbert's place and was very warm and welcoming. The location of the place is amazing, close to the Opera House and the Metro, close to shopping, and have amazing dining options around as well. There is a great cafe downstairs which was our favorite spot for coffee and breakfast. The place was generally clean, spacious compared to other places I've seen around the same location in Airbnb, and the wifi worked great. The beds were comfortable. There is Air Conditioning which I learned is not a standard in Paris so that is great. We felt safe around the area and the building has good security (pass codes to enter gate and main entrance). As one of the reviewers said, the place is on the 5th floor and the elevator only goes to the 4th floor but the flight up one level was not bad at all.
The only thing is, after we checked-out, we received a request for additional payment from the host for issues that were not our fault (for example, missing part on coffee machine that we did not use during our stay because we went to the cafe downstairs for good coffee) which is still under resolution.
