Stephane's place is potentially wonderful (except for a few things that could be improved)! It's large and spacious with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is a superb neighbourhood, especially with having the Marche Aligre so close. The Marche meant I wanted to cook a few meals (over Xmas) , and we found the kitchen to be very very hard to use. I was hard even to cook eggs (not even a spatula!). We do not blame Stephane, because we know not everyone is into a lot of cooking. However, it was not well lit, and not well supplied or organized for cooking. So, if you really want to cook up a storm, this may not be the place for you. In addition, the kitchen tap didn't work well and wobbled and leaked and sprayed, and the washing machine leaked, which was not great. Stephane says these things have been fixed now. Although I notice someone someone else complained about the washing machine and the tap in April 2018 (9 months before) and Stephane said he would fix them then. So why was it still not working in December, before we stayed for two weeks over Xmas.
The apartment is good, but we had a sense Stephane really had no interest in making sure we were comfortable or that he supplied what was promised. There are few instructions for TV and other appliances (that did not work well). We mentioned the leaking washing machine and he told us where we could get things cleaned at a dry cleaners!
I think sometimes it would be good for the host to make a bit of effort when charging over 170 Euros per day (and that at a reduced rate for two weeks). Many of the problems would be easy to fix! I am sure Stephane will be defensive about this review, and I am sorry for that. I wrote him personally before writing this review. But I am posting it because it is important for renters to know both the good as well as the limitations of an airbnb rental. Otherwise we had a really superb time in Paris and thought the flat was OK, despite the things I mention! Just don't plan to cook!
