This appartment is charming, full of the owner's photos of their family over the generations, and much more attractive for that than one done up specifically to be an Air BnB.
The location is also lovely, right next to the Eiffel Tower, which also means a local park, place to go running and a playground.
There are some idiosyncrasies for being an old, personal property, such as the rather collapsed sofa and profusion of armchairs. Also the hot water can only really sustain a couple of showers before it runs out and the next person has to wait. Not a problem for most probably, but as we were a family of five it took some working out.
The communication with the company that hosts the appartment on behalf of the owner was also patchy. We were told the day before we were arriving that the cot we had paid for was broken. There was no offer to get a replacement, despite our asking, and no reply from them for 24 hours, which was stressful as our baby would have nowhere else to sleep.
It turned out OK in the end, as the cot wasn't actually broken (the cleaner just thought it was) and they were more responsive on the water issues. But this is one area that could be improved.
