Pros: Great location and access to metro. Can easily walk across Seine to 15 ARR with many good restaurants (bridge is the one in Inception move which is a plus!)
Neighborhood is safe and 5 min walk to Eiffel Tower. Ventilation of apartment is great with many large windows - which means without AC even in summer (we stayed in August) is not a problem at all. There’s a convenience store just across the street and opens until late night, with most necessities.
Hot water was not a problem as the check-in staff helped with the set up.
Cons: Mosquito can be a problem in summer and bug spray / after bite is not provided. Guests may need to bring their own.
Shampoo / body wash is minimal and guests may need to bring their own. But towels are plenty and great.
There’s a washer but no dryer. We didn’t find it a problem during summer as a drying rack was provided and our laundry all dried up over night. But with a family staying it was quite some manual drying work to do everyday.
Host response time was bit more than what’s reported by Airbnb, but generally within a day. We booked almost last minute and was able to check in without issues.
Check in staff do not live onsite and asked for a short time window for arrival, which is difficult with international flights and potential delay in traffic / metro. We felt being pushed by check in staff to commit to a very strict 2 hour check-in window. With guests being a family with young children this would be not easy sometimes.
Overall: Would recommend for families (perhaps with older children over 6) and short stays during summer.
