Note to anyone who stays here: The main exterior photo of this AirBnB site is not the actual exterior photo of the AirBnB. That aside, this quaint and compact AirBnB is steps from the Republique, which is a happening location with many street cafes, shops, pastry locations and available Metro lines (easy to use) that will get you anywhere in the city (where many of tourist sites/things are). While the immediate neighborhood isn't the best, there is lots of action and cool streets/things to discover. Keep in mind, busy neighborhood means noise throughout the day/night. The elevator (which is great to have) is very tight, and the ceilings in the AirBnB is not made for tall individuals. There's very little closet/storage space, so be forewarned. There is a couch/futon that can be used as a bed, but it's uncomfortable to sleep on. There is a washing machine, but you'll have to decide how well it actually washes. With no drier, be prepared to have the drying rack out a lot. With no Welcome/How to Book provided, be prepared to fend for yourself. There is a person onsite to contact, but he doesn't speak English. The owner is available via phone. The kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary staples, but like the rest of the place it's overstocked with stuff leaving little space for your own necessities. If you're looking for unique, this could work for you. If you're looking for space and closer to tourist things, you might want to think again about this option.
