I had a nightmare experience in Robert's flat. We were looking for a place to stay for 3 nights for 2 friends and we specifically were checking that a flat would have two beds as we are not a couple and are not willing to sleep together. Robert's flat was advertised as a large studio - if that's a large one then I don't know what is a small studio as the flat didn't even fit a single wardrobe. Anyway we came to Paris to see the city and we only needed it to sleep, so could never imagine that this would be an issue. But when we got to the flat (after a very long day, waking up early to take the flight and walking around Paris all day long) and wanted to sleep we realized that only one bed was provided with a blanket, while the second bed was covered with a second sheet only. I have never seen anything like that in my life, it's February! Although it was my first experience booking with Airbnb, but I expect a blanket to be a basic and essential thing, not a luxury, especially when you had paid 350 euro for 3 nights, it's not a cheap hostel (and even them provide blankets). We contacted Robert straight away, but he didn't reply not through the website not over the phone. His friend who he sent for the check-in instead of himself didn't reply either. Robert only replied next day after 2 pm and was surprised that a second guest needed a blanket and suggested to cover with a thin narrow synthetic decorative throw that was on the second bed (covering less than a half of it! It's really unbelievable! As a result we couldn't sleep and get any rest in the first night, I had to sleep in my jacket on and it was short so my feet were frozen! I could never imagine I would have to spend a night like that... Having not heard from Robert even in the morning my friend had to book a hotel and move out as we couldn't face another sleepless night.
I really can't stress enough how uncomfortable the situation was as we were only in Paris for few days and only wanted a basic thing - to have a flat to take a shower and to sleep and Robert failed to provide that. We spent restless night after a long journey and spending all day on foot, and then had to find another hotel and move spending time and money. That spoiled the whole 3-day vacation!
I don't know if Robert will provide another blanket for future guests now but there were other issues in a flat: even the flat itself is refurbished, the building is very very old, you can hear EVERYTHING from the staircase like when people are walking, and you can hear the neighbors sneezing. Plus there are construction works in the building. So be prepared to be waken up at night and early morning.
I found men's underwear in the washing machine...
As mentioned above there isn't a wardrobe only a chest of drawers so there is nowhere to hang clothes.
There are some small stuff missing that make life a bit weird in a flat. For example, there are only curtains on one window, and another one facing the bed is uncovered and there are other flats right opposite that window. There is no toilet paper holder or no any shelf in the bathroom so the only place you can put toilet paper is a wet floor cos it's just by the shower, same goes for the soaps and shampoos. You can find all the pots in the flat but no cutlery, I wasn't going to cook there but it was impossible even to eat a yogurt.
