Vanessa was very accommodating and helpful during the check-in process. She was very receptive to our suggestions and recommendations to improve her place.
This house is perfect for a family of 4 and was too small for the six of us. It is not recommended for families with very small children or the elderly. The house has four floors with many narrow stairs which is not safe for small children, the elderly, or anyone with any significant physical disability.
There was a heat wave when we were in Paris. As the house has no AC, we had to open the windows and have the small fans on at night. The street is very noisy so I would recommend wearing ear plugs if you want to get any sleep at night.
This house is in a nice, residential area with bakery and restaurants within walking distance but far from the city center. The nearest subway station is about a 5 minute walking distance.
I am not sure if this is common in Paris but this house is the hosts' primary residence and they had to leave so we could stay there. Their personal belongings and family photos were in the house so it felt like we were paying to house-sit for them. This may not bother some people but it definitely felt a little weird for us.
