We spent 2 nights of the 5 nights we reserved, due to mildrew smells from the basement floor. Frist night was a late check in and we didnt have much option, 2nd day we want to give another chance with AC turn on to takeaway the mildrew smells. That didnt work and worries me about my 3yr old son sleeping with us in the basement room. We decided to leave and notify owner for refund. Owner response within hours and advise to contact airbnd for refund. Good think, Marc from Airbnd was able to assist and we're able to find a place for the remaining trip in Paris.
Below are my comments during our 2 night stay.
Pro:
location - walking distance to Eiffel tower and very quite neighborhood.
Con:
Mildrew smells from damped basement, very uncomfortable to stay inside.
Lack of ventilation for the entire house as windows are closed with a lock.
Apartment door - this door requires manual lock for IN and OUT. Its a safty hazard, just if anything happens and trying find this one key giving and windows are locked.
