Pros and Cons of staying here
Pros:
location location location!!
Homeowner is ready to answer any questions or concerns.
Views are amazing day and night!
Cons:
Upon arrival my guests and I came an hour early, and we ran into the cleaners.Running into the house cleaners made us feel like the house must have been very clean mirrors very happy. But it wasn’t, the tables, fire place top, shelves were all very dusty and had spiderwebs. We wondered what were they cleaning exactly? My companion and I ignore this because we know a lot of Paris apartments/buildings are old.
Gaspard communicated with us well, but the response timeframe that was listed for 1 hour was incorrect. His typical respond to our messages took up to a day or two later. We just thought he must be busy.
Trash is to be taken out on your own, Gaspard help with finding the location, but was unable to help us with new trash bags or where to locate new ones in the apartment. So we used the same trash bag in the kitchen for a whole week.
Elevator up to the flat/apartment is very small, it is written in the elevator that up to three people can fit but we had a hard time fitting two people inside the elevator at one time.
Our stay at the apartment rooftop view was for a week. On our last night in the home we were up later into the night than usual packing and saw two rats running around the house. My guest and I were very unhappy about these in wanted guest. Adding to the lack of cleanliness of the apartment. My guest and I were also bit up with a mosquito bites on our arms and legs. When I asked Gaspard for a phone call to discuss these issues, the was a two day delay on responds, when he did reach out it was already just one day left before checkout, so there wasn’t really much he could to improve our stay in this airbnb. Hope bring this up to him will help the future guest(s) have a clean, peaceful and relaxing stay.
I would recommend this apartment/flat for someone looking for a short stay, maximum of three guests, doesn’t mind bug or rats, and doesn’t mind cleaning the house. Location and views makes this place worth living in for a short period.
