The apartment was quite small (as expected), and had most things you would need for a short stay. For longer term guests you may want to bring some of your own supplies, there was not much in terms of cleaning supplies (but four bottles of Windex!), only one small pot for cooking. I was only given one small dish towel and two bath towels, at least a hand towel and another dish towel would’ve been nice for a month long stay. It’s not accurate to say the place is equipped for multiple guests as there was only one (very uncomfortable pillow) and one thin blanket, and I’m not sure how anyone could sleep on the futon couch-it was so lumpy. However as it was just myself staying in the place, with the additional bedding I brought it worked out okay for me! The listing was supposed to be equipped with Wifi, however upon arrival, the host discovered it was not. She eventually provided me with a SIM card to access data for my stay, but this meant I was without any internet access for the first five or so days of my stay (a big inconvenience as this was quite unexpected). There were also many other inaccuracies in the listing when I booked it-though the page was edited about halfway through my stay to better describe the apartment. That being said there is no hair dryer, no shampoo, no iron, no heating, no smoke alarm, no first aid kit, no oil/salt/pepper, no free parking (you can park on the street but it is paid), and definetly no breakfast provided!
Additionally if you are bothered by noise at night beware, the building gets quite loud on weekend nights and you can hear the neighbors stomping up the stairs.
The location of the apartment is farther away from all the typical touristy things in Paris, but I really enjoyed how quiet the neighborhood was, and it felt relatively safe (for a big city), even at night. There’s lots of really nice parks nearby and plenty of little shops/restaurants to check out.
I believe most of these things can be negated by the low price for the apartment, it was considerably cheaper than anything else in the area. However the inaccuracy of the listing is a big frustration.
My other issue with the stay was that when I arrived in Paris from another country and got the nearest bus stop, the host messaged me to cancel my stay. This of course was very stressful to deal with and ended up costing me a decent chunk of money to resolve, having to find a place to stay that same night. Eventually after communicating with Airbnb they determined the host was able to accommodate me, just not until 5 nights after my stay was supposed to start. This was not a pleasant experience at all and certainly started the stay out on a sour note. I do appreciate however that they were able to accommodate me, I just wish they had been a bit more organized so as to not cause so much undue stress and panic.
Overall, this place was cheap and you do get what you pay for. If you are planning to stay here MAKE SURE you are in contact with the host before you arrive, the Airbnb site saying the host has confirmed your reservation was not enough and as she was apparently still not at that point not aware I had booked the stay.
