I traveled with my boyfriend, my sister and her husband, and my father. I enjoyed being able to walk to the louvre and other nearby neighborhoods, but I would NOT stay again for the following reasons:
- poor accessibility: 20+ stairs to walk up (no elevator, difficult to bring up luggage), warped wood and uneven flooring throughout the living area that I kept tripping on, also an uneven step into one of the bathrooms that’s easy to trip on.
- Loud: it’s nearby to many restaurants, and so there’s extremely loud street noise throughout the day and multiple loud construction projects. It’s especially frustrating since there’s no A/C, and so you’re left deciding between being too hot with windows closed, or inundated with street noise and having a cooler living room with windows open.
- Poor communication from host: across the street during my stay, there was a building that was guarded by 9+ security men 24/7! When I asked my host about it, they provided no context as to why this might be! At one point, 4 police vans and 30 policemen on motorcycles surrounded the building outside my Airbnb!!! I had to later go outside and ask a nearby hotel front desk if I was in any danger since the hosts were unwilling to provide any help/context/assistance!!!
Tl;dr poor value for the price point, and no assistance from the host when you’re in need. You’re better off with a hotel and a staff that can attend to your needs.
Also, read the listing carefully as only one of the beds is fit for a couple!
