First the good points: very sympathetic and helpful welcome by Gregory, excellent location next to République, with plenty of different métro and autobus lines at hand for exploring the city. A real if small apartment with salon, bedroom with an an excellent kingsize bed, kitchen and bathroom, perfectly calm at night with open windows. But now the downside: No lift to the 5th floor. The whole place -especially the bathroom + kitchen + the uneven floors- in great need of in-depth repair and better cleaning. Unsatisfactory communication with Gregory per tel/sms (I find airbnb-communication too difficult). Voilà.
