Small but cute studio on the sixth floor of a complex in Le Marais, in Central Paris. A bottle of wine awaited on check in. Tiny elevator and winding stairs added to the ambience. The window looks out into the street but you can get airflow and silence by opening the bathroom window instead. There’s also a Dyson fan which is a nice touch. Memory foam bed (I wish airbnb required hosts to indicate bed type, I don’t like foam at all, but this isn’t the host’s fault, I could have asked.)
Room is overpriced compared to similar listings in the area — a couple reviewers have said “its worth it for the rooftops” but it’s not IMO.
My only real complaint was that the owner’s “support team” sent an online form ahead of time that makes you agree to a 50 Euro surcharge if checkout instructions are not followed. They aren’t supposed to do this; if they need a security deposit, there’s a way to do that through airbnb. I refused to fill out the form and I recommend doing the same until they remove this checkbox from it.
Overall, nice base for a stay in Paris.
