Guests need to know that this location is less than ideal for anyone who may not want to leap over a couple of stairs to reach the bathroom entrance. Yes, you read that right. The entrance to the bathroom is not on level ground. This is very dangerous for children, anyone with mobility issues, but it can be dangerous for anyone at all. At night, the bathroom is very dark. There is no light.
The property is also dangerous as the shower door gives you such little space to pass through. Also if you are tall you will hit your head in the shower as the ceiling is sloped in there or you will hit your head on the beam on the way out of the shower. The ceiling above the shower is also crumbling and decaying.
The TV did not work. I had to message the host for the WIFI name and password, this was not posted anywhere. That is normally fine, but it would've been a nice touch to have it posted somewhere for ease.
Guests should also know that this is a 6 flight property, for anyone who struggles with stairs. There is no lift. However, this is Paris and it is to be expected.
Additionally, it was very clear that the neighbors were less than pleased to have an airbnb in their building. This can make you feel quite unwelcome and nervous throughout your stay.
Finally, the check-in and check-out process was very confusing. It was clear that the check-in message was copy pasted and was done very fast as it did not get into much detail. Both times I had to message Manon to ask where I should receive the keys and where I should leave them, when I believe when using airbnb this should be told to you with ample time to make arrangements about how you will arrive and leave the property, not at the last minute. Less than ideal.
Think twice about if you can handle all of the above during your stay.
Pros: location, authenticity, and the balcony
