This AirBnB is in an excellent location, close to the Louvre and shopping in the 1st arrondissement; however, we do not recommend this AirBnB for several reasons. The AC is an external, plug-in unit that is not installed properly, and therefore, did not work during our entire stay. Frankly, it’s false advertising by the host to say that this apartment has AC [the caregiver of the apartment tried to tell us that if the unit works for 30 minutes at a time (before the unit’s compressor overheats and fills the apartment with hot air, which is very dangerous), it’s considered AC]. Due to the extreme high summer temperatures in Paris, we had to leave the windows open our entire stay, which let mosquitos inside and the outside street noise is VERY loud due to the location; thus, we had a lot of difficulty sleeping due to bugs, noise, and the heat. The host (Diana) was aware of the issue from a review posted at least one month before our stay but neglected to fix the cooling unit. Additionally, it was not obvious to us from the listing description that the toilet and shower were in the same space. The shower had draining issues, which meant we had to use the toilet in a room that contained standing, stagnant water (you can imagine the smell after a day or so). The shower was eventually fixed, but only after the host accused us of clogging the drain with our hair (which could not have been possible as we had not washed our hair yet since arriving when we noticed the drain issue). There is a separate bathtub in the bedroom area, but the bathtub was not clean and there is no curtain or door to prevent water from going everywhere in the room, so it was a challenge to say the least! Marta, the caregiver, was extremely rude and defensive with us when she came to check the shower. Last, the apartment was not very clean when we arrived, and we were only given one towel each for a one-week stay. Overall, we were very disappointed with this listing and felt the host did not care that we were so uncomfortable.
