Pierre's place was located quite close to Gare De Lyon and that was the main reason we had selected his place for stay of ease of transportation. Pierre's apartment had a lift which was very convenient since we had large luggage with us. We were shown to a room of our own with a queen size bed. The room was of decent size and had a chair although with no but nightstand on both side of the bed. There seem to be enough outlets in the room.
I would not recommend anyone with potential late check in time to stay at Pierre's place. We were originally scheduled to fly from Barcelona to Paris CDG arrviing at 22:30. Which I communicated to Pierre very early on. There was a delay of the flight and also then the RER train was not in service due to some construction, both were out of our control. We arrived at CDG around midnight and were told by Pierre to take a taxi which was siginficantly more expensive, however we already have RER tickets at this point. Pierre told us that he will not wait past 12:30am and told us we would have to check in at 8am in the morning as he had to be up at 7am. After much begging Pierre agreed to wait for us. We took a taxi at Gare du Nord to save time and arrived a bit after 1:00am. Pierre was nice enough to let us in. Pierre showed us the shower and our room. There seemed to be a living room space and kitchen but we were not shown to it so we did not use it during our stay.
We did not take a shower when we arrived as we did not want to bother the host's sleep. The next day we went out and throughly enjoyed Paris. We returned around 11:30pm and went out again for a late night stroll. When we returned we found that the apartment door was bolted shut from the inside. We tried calling and messaging Pierre first but had no answer. We then ring the doorbell and bang the door for an hour. During which we tried to contact airbnb to see if they could offer us another solution such as stay at another location. After over an hour at the door Pierre finally came to the door, he did apologize as he thought we were inside.
Overall the room was good enough to stay, the facilities worked, so no complains there. I see that the host has had good reviews so perhaps this was a one off. I see the host has now added a no check in after 12 am comment in his listings so perhaps it is best for anyone who has a late arrival to skip this listing.
