François is a polite host. Although we never met in person, he reached out to check if we were settled, which we appreciated.
Our check in did not go smoothly, as the ‘Get directions’ button on Airbnb led to a different address about 15mins away. When we tried to contact the person letting us into the apartment to explain why we were running late, he was impolite and uncommunicative.
The apartment is well located for reaching the areas of Montmartre and Pigalles. It has great connections for getting around during a city break to Paris. The surrounding flats are peaceful.
However, the apartment itself needs some care and attention. It was concerning that there was lots of mould on the bathroom door. The furnishings could also do with a refresh.
Small touches like complimentary coffee & tea or some more toilet roll would have been appreciated.
Although the area around the apartment was peaceful, there was a persistent tapping noise coming from one wall in middle of the night. This disturbed us and we lost a good night’s sleep as a result.
Good location. Basic apartment with a few flaws that took the sheen off our stay here.
