First of all, I have to say the host was very nice and was kind enough to allow us to check in early after our very long 11 hour flight. The check in process was very easy. The place is easy to find. Great location and walking distance to many great points of interest. You can reach it by Uber, taxi or take the RER and walk. If you take the RER and walk, you shouldn't have too much luggage. It is a good walk. Just walk down the Quai to rue Dauphine and take a left. Up about two blocks is the street of the flat. You self-check in. You also have to walk up 3 flights of narrow, curved and steep stairs. If you have any mobility issues, this would be a problem. My husband carried the luggage up. I could not. The flat is very, very small. This is not unusual for Paris, especially the old part. We tend to take a lot of luggage because we usually travel for a month + at a time. Our luggage alone took up half of the living room (2 large suitcases, 2 carry on roller bags, a back pack and a large tote.) The place is very charming and historical. It is a corner unit with fantastic exposed beams. The kitchen is small, but functional. The bathroom is also small, but has tub/shower combo, which is a huge plus for me. It is a short tub, but a tub nonetheless. The bedroom is tiny. You cannot put an luggage in the bedroom. It has a short full size bed. It is pretty comfortable, but both my husband and my legs hung off the bed. He is about 6 feet and I am 5'9". The pillows are useless. They have no form. Fortunately, we travel with our own feather pillows. There was a black sheet and a sort of duvet cover (without a duvet) on the bed. No top sheet or other covers. It was ghastly hot in Paris, so we didn't need a duvet. A top sheet would have been nice and normal pillows. It was unclear if the sheet and cover had been washed. We were given 1 bath towel and 3 hand towels for 2 people for 3 nights. Again, I always carry an emergency bath towel, because some Airbnb hosts are very tight with the linens. Cleanliness was an issues. The place was tidy, but not clean. Imagine that you call a friend of a friend at the last minute and you ask if you can crash at their house. The are kind enough to comply, but they just pack a quick bag and leave without vacuuming, dusting, scrubbing the sink and bathtub. Bath sink had residue and water marks on the spout. Bath trash had not been emptied. An old, dirty coffee cup left on the side table in the living room, dirty dishes in the cupboards. It wasn't horrible. But if you are a clean freak, you wouldn't be comfortable at all. I just scrubbed the sink and bath and my husband washed all our dishes before we used them. Don't sit on the floor. If you walk barefoot, expect dust on your feet. The worst part was the heat. This was mother nature's fault. It was 98-100 degrees while we in Paris. There wasn't any fan or air conditioning. We had to leave all the windows open at night. The street noise was really bad. People screaming until 4 am in the morning as they leave the bars in the area. Even when people are talking on the street, 3 stories down, it seems they are in the same room. Every morning you have the garbage trucks coming down the street and lots of traffic as it is a thorough fare to the Pont Neuf. For some reason, although there are black out curtains in the living room, the curtain in the bedroom is partially sheer, so it is flooded with light in the morning. We basically didn't sleep for 3 nights due to heat, noise and light. All in all, you have to weigh between the great location, very nice hostess and some major issues with noise and cleanliness. The noise issue probably isn't so bad when it isn't so hot and you can close the windows. I think the cleanliness issue is here to stay. She has a sign in the kitchen that says "I know all about cooking and cleaning, they just don't apply to me." Fair enough if it is just your place, but when you rent to others, it really should be clean.
