Our stay at the AirBnB was wonderful but with a few disappointments.
The location of the AirBnB is central which makes for easy access to a Metro and RER, as well as walking to the Arc de Triomphe, We always felt secure in the apartment day or night. The double glazing window provides excellent noise insulation.
The accommodation was very clean and the check-in was easy with reliable communication with our host.
The living and dining space was generous which made for wonderful relaxing and social spaces, and the balcony provided a further sense of space - there is no direct sun into these areas, though they are not dark.
We valued having a washing machine and generous detergent provided.
The kitchen was functional however we would have appreciated more basics like a quality vegetable and prep knife, mixing and serving bowls and more than one very small fry pan... The kitchen items were really suited to preparing breakfast as opposed to cooking dinner.
The bathroom was decent size, however the shower was not really functional and disappointing given the price paid. It wasn't a shower you could stand under, but a hose over the bath that you had to hold with your hand and spray over yourself. The bath didn't have a plug and when one was not provided this was very frustrating as you couldn't have a relaxing shower experience - it was brief and functional given the challenge of having to hold the hose while you cleaned yourself. The glass door is not water tight and it was near impossible to not flood the bathroom (which does not have a drain hole) during each shower.
There was no iron and no ironing board.
If this feedback is taken on board, and the items of the house fixed it would be a great place we'd have no hesitation giving a 5 stars recommendation. We would recommend staying as is, but just moderate your expectations. We suggest the luxury price tag should be reduced until a few updates are made.
