Overall a nice stay with communicative hosts. The location was decent - about a 15-20 minute Uber to most tourist sites for about €13-20 per ride. Paris is a large city compared to other popular tourists cities, so this is not uncommon and not necessarily a negative.
Hosts were friendly. If the listing describes your needs exactly, this was a nice stay and I’d recommend it. However, there is zero flexibility on check in/check out or luggage drop off. A sign inside said that checkout time was strict to allow people the choice of luggage drop off, but when I had requested early luggage drop off weeks prior to my trip, I was told they did not offer luggage drop off as an option.
Check out was 11AM, and exactly at 10:59AM as we were about to walk out the door, someone unlocked the door and walked in to clean. So I’d recommend checking out at 10:45AM.
A glass water container was left for refrigerating tap water on a shelf near the fridge, but it was not dried before being stored, so it had condensation inside & was musty and unusable unless washed first. This is an easy mistake to make, though. The rest of the apartment was very clean and tidy. I would just wash any dishes prior to use. You will be charged if any dishes are left out.
The host left extra clean sheets and blankets on a shelf in the closet along with extra clean towels, which was nice. No shampoo or shower gel offered for use like most hosts leave for their guests, though. Make sure to bring your own.
Overall a pleasant stay with enough space, but the pictures made the stay appear more luxurious than the building, location, & apartment actually is.
There was construction going on directly outside the windows and scaffolding attached to the side of the building, so opening windows in the living room only revealed metal. Men were working on the scaffolding, so opening the windows to let in air wasn’t an option. The apartment is on the 3rd floor and there is no lift. The alley is questionable with homeless individuals sleeping in a covered area about 2 doors down from the building entrance. I’d recommend against walking anywhere late at night for this reason. Uber is widely available in Paris, though.
