Laure’s flat was nice but not what I expected after reading other reviews. Neighbors above were doing construction and the trash is right outside the “bedroom” so there was constant noise early in the morning. The place was stylish and cozy but the bedroom had curtains instead of a door so privacy was limited from the common room. The post said breakfast was provided however we only received enough packaged croissants for 3 of the 7 nights we stayed. Additionally the bathtub was dirty and had hair in it when we arrived. We each got one towel for the week and we had to go buy our own toilet paper and soap as there was only enough provided for two days. It was a fine flat overall but definitely not the five star experience I expected based on the reviews. Additionally, I was charged over 110 euro for “taxes” for myself for the 7 nights. I have stayed in many apartments in Paris and the tax rate is usually no more than 2 euro per night per person. My boyfriend decided to join the trip last minute and when I informed laure she requested an additional 70 euro in person when we arrived (definitely against the Airbnb policy). I only agreed because changing the reservation on Airbnb would have cost me more (another $110 due to the high tax rate she set for our time there). When I checked the rates for the next week, they were not the inflated tax rate but back to the standard (~$15/week) so I guess it’s all at the discretion of your timing and your enthusiasm (I had requested this apartment for the week via messaging and I’m afraid she took advantage of my enthusiasm). All of our complaints were minor; pretty decent apartment but I can’t help but feel ripped off. She was nice enough and let us check in 30 minutes early but I’ve been to Paris many times and would prefer to stay elsewhere next time.
