I stayed a month here, so I may have a different experience than those who stays a short term. The location is great and a convenient place. The host is communicative. It’s small 2bed rooms. As any Paris apartment, it’s bit narrow feel. Kitchen was well equipped with Ikea stuffs, except all pits and pans all scratched up and I could not use, after few attempts to request to the host he supplied. Few things are working including missing lights bulbs and one of bed side light. That become an issue later. They never supplied smoke/fire detectors inside.
One of the bed sides light shade and Bulb was missing. I thought it was broken as it appears to be not working. So after I requested supply all missing light bulbs, this one they never did until one week before my departure. As I request weekly cleaner basis by me. The cleaning lady suddenly put back a tiny light bulb back one by the bed light where I hang my towels sometimes, since it’s right by the shower. One night I didn’t notice there is a light bulb suddenly, I put towel on top by the bed headboard, caught fire with ton of smoke. Luckily I woke up after dozing a while. I’m very lucky to be alive. I opened many windows and doors. I was panicked a while and checked the unit and no smoke detectors at all. No much damages I thought. The towel was like fire ball, so I threw into the bathtub to put off the fire.
I wish the host fix the light with shade, and installed fire/smoke detectors began with, I never had to experience this. I felt awful but at least I’m alive and not much damage at all.( that I thought ) its a mandatory to install smoke alarms in Paris.
